Abstract

In mid 2023, social work students from Ulster University in Northern Ireland travelled to the Philippines and Singapore for a two-week mobility period. This was the first structured overseas learning experience incorporated into the BSc (Hons) Social Work programme, and for most of the students it was their first time outside Europe. This interactive poster session will provide an overview of the learning outcomes of international mobility in the context of professional learning programmes.
