BIP for Staff: Micro-credentials Master lab

Entrepreneurship is an integral part of our Communication programme. Within this framework, we explore hands-on approaches to entrepreneurial communication, including pitching, branding, content strategy, and stakeholder engagement in start-up and innovation contexts. Through the exchange of practical tools, real-life cases, and innovative teaching methods with our international partners, we strengthen the development of an entrepreneurial mindset and demonstrate how it can be directly applied in professional communication settings.

Interprofessional collaboration is deeply embedded in our Bachelor of Nursing programme, allowing students to learn with, from, and about other healthcare disciplines. Through shared learning activities and practice‑based projects, students develop strong teamwork, communication, and decision‑making skills. This integrated approach prepares our graduates to contribute effectively to collaborative, patient‑centred care environments.

Global competences play a crucial role in tourism, where professionals must navigate diverse cultures, international customer expectations, and rapidly changing global contexts. In practice oriented higher education, developing these skills supports students in becoming adaptable, culturally aware, and globally engaged practitioners. Integrating global perspectives into tourism curricula strengthens students' ability to collaborate across borders and contribute meaningfully to an international professional environment.

This micro-credential challenges pre service teachers to rethink the dominance of Western philosophies in education and embrace inclusive, Indigenous worldviews that foreground community, interconnectedness, relationships, and holistic understandings of our world. Drawing on research that urges the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge to disrupt inequities and inspire meaningful, justice-oriented change, this module empowers future teachers to value alternative ways of knowing and co-create culturally responsive methodologies. It also highlights the necessity of well-prepared teachers from indigenous and culturally diverse heritages, educators with strong knowledge bases, cultural confidence, and the pedagogical skills to collaborate with families and communities in bringing Indigenous concepts meaningfully into their classrooms.

Climate change, biodiversity loss, forced migration and rising social inequalities are not separate crises but interconnected eco-social challenges. They demand new ways of thinking, collaborating and practising professionally, with global urgency and local impact. Social work stands at a crossroads. While practitioners already respond to the effects of ecological degradation, higher education must question whether it equips future professionals with the integrated frameworks, tools and transnational perspectives required. An integrated, transnational and interdisciplinary approach is essential.
