Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

North-South Student Mobility: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Sheena Duffy:

Many of the campuses have returned to on campus education, so if one is pursuing a full-time programme, there are not as many remote opportunities as there would have been during the Covid-19 period. By and large, students will be on campus so will have to be living adjacent to the campus. From a mobility point of view, it would be nice to be able to offer some sort of blended opportunities where people can perhaps spend some time on a campus and also engage remotely. That is something we tried to do with the Erasmus programme. It is something we could probably look at in a mobility programme going forward, in that there could be blended opportunities for people so they could perhaps stay at home but also avail of a short mobility placement.
