These activities have given a basis for further internationalisation and co-operation within early childhood education teacher training, as well as in research relating to early childhood education.
Teacher and Staff Mobility
DMMH encourages teachers and staff to visit other Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) for teaching and training on mobility grants within the ERASMUS programme. There is also staff exchange with HEIs in other parts of the world.
DMMH hosts many visiting teachers and other staff from partner institutions. The mobility visits from 2 days and up to 1 week. PhD student come on mobility visits for periods up to 6 months. Teacher and staff mobility has provided very positive experiences for our own and our partners’ teachers and staff members.
Collaboration with African partners
Several DMMH staff and students are engaged in collaboration and exchanges with parters in Southern Africa.
Queen Maud University College of Early Childhood Education (DMMH) has been actively engaged in the field of early childhood education (ECE) in Southern and Eastern Africa since 1999. This has developed into a strong and active network of partner institutions focusing on Early Childhood Teacher Education.
We have ambitions to increase the number of activities for mutual benefit and quality enhancement. This is in alignment with DMMH's strategic priorities that emphasises the UN sustainable development goals, strengthened international involvement, quality ensured staff and student exchanges, as well as researching and making visible children's needs and rights both nationally and internationally.
Student Mobility
Every academic year, several DMMH undergraduate students go abroad for a study period of 3 months within the framework of ERASMUS in Europe and within bilateral agreements with partner institutions in other parts of the world. Our master's students also have opportunities to take part of their studies abroad. Exactly where and for how long, depends on which programme they are connected to.
Similarly, DMMH receives several international undergraduate students within the ERASMUS programme and from partner institutions outside Europe for studies of 3 months or a semester.
