INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL SKILLS: INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECT WORK

Higher education should provide learning situations that prepare students for a future profession
and make them world-ready. This paper reports insights from an international interdisciplinary
collaborative project aiming to create learning experiences that are close to a professional
situation. The collaboration setup simulates a setting of a digital agency with a development
team in Sweden and a marketing team in Australia working together to solve a task. The
collaborative project has been active since 2017, completing its fifth iteration in 2021. Postcourse
survey results show that the students felt that a real situation was created with a high
level of collaboration and commitment, internationalization, well selected digital collaborative
tools, and that an interdisciplinary community of practice was created among the students.
