Institutional Practices for International Academic Mobility at the University of Juba, South Sudan

International academic mobility is crucial for the internationalization of higher education. However, information on the practices at the University of Juba in South Sudan is limited. In this article we explore these practices through data from 14 knowledgeable participants. Findings indicate that mobility practices for students and staff are ad hoc and primarily focus on outbound mobility. This imbalance could lead to brain drain and negatively impact the university’s reputation and competitiveness. The University of Juba needs to prioritize the development of comprehensive academic mobility programs.

Abstract

International academic mobility is crucial for the internationalization of higher education. However, information on the practices at the University of Juba in South Sudan is limited. In this article we explore these practices through data from 14 knowledgeable participants. Findings indicate that mobility practices for students and staff are ad hoc and primarily focus on outbound mobility. This imbalance could lead to brain drain and negatively impact the university’s reputation and competitiveness. The University of Juba needs to prioritize the development of comprehensive academic mobility programs.
