Staff

Through establishing international partnerships that create opportunity for mobility, we encourage our staff to become global citizens.

Our Office facilitates opportunities for academic and administrative staff at UWC to spend research, teaching or training periods at a partner institution.

A teaching period can include workshops or courses at any study level and in any area.

A training period can include training events at a partner university abroad, or attendance of workshops or courses.

Staff mobility can encourage tertiary institutions to broaden and enrich the range and content of the courses they offer, to promote an exchange of expertise and experience on pedagogical methods, and to allow staff members to acquire knowledge and practical skills from experiences and good practices abroad.

What our staff say

  • Staff Exchange:
    1 March 2019 to 17 March 2019
    University of Missouri/ University of the Western Cape
    The purpose of this visit was to explore the use of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality in Health Professions Education at the University of Missouri. I was fortunate enough to secure visits to two campuses, namely- the campus in St Louis and the other in Columbia. Both campuses are remarkably different in various ways. For the first week of my visit, I was hosted by Prof Andy Goodman and his colleagues in the Center for Teaching and Learning in St Louis. During the second week I was hosted by Profs Danielle Oprean and Xinhoa Xu in the School of Information Science and Learning Technology in Columbia. I wish to thank all the staff who I have met during this time for their kindness and hospitality. Thank you to UM and UWC for giving me this opportunity to learn and grow.
