Your global benchmark

Measuring impact and experience in education abroad

Why miXabroad? How it works

 

We know global learning transforms lives – but how do we measure it?


Most of us are collecting data about our education abroad programs, but we're all doing it differently. Without a consistent benchmark, it’s hard to know what good data looks like or whether students are gaining the skills and experiences that matter.

That’s where miXabroad comes in.

We are the world’s first global comparative benchmark on education abroad – by country, institution, student type, duration, format, discipline, demographics and more. No fluff. Just clear, independent data that will save your team time and help you tell a stronger story about the value and the impact of education abroad.

Cara Bonnington
The University of Sydney

Participating in miXabroad in the pilot year will give us a baseline from which we can measure improvements year on year to ensure the changes we make to our global programming meet our students’ expectations and needs.

Rohan McCarthy-Gill
The University of Sussex

I immediately saw the potential of miXabroad – not just to recapture reflective insight from students, but to do so in a robust and comparative way, both locally and globally. The prospect of better understanding the impact of our programs, and being able to better tailor our student engagement and support, is really compelling.

Jeannette Geesmann
The University of Western Australia

The impact of education abroad has never been measured on a large and global scale. Being able to hear from our students as to the why and why not, will be invaluable in shaping the future of our own institution’s education abroad strategy.

Impact measures

Capturing growth and learning across the whole student journey

Typically, we quantify success by student numbers. But what about the impact?

Measuring outcomes provides a more holistic view, particularly when comparing your institution’s programs on a national or global level.

That’s why miXabroad goes beyond traditional measures to capture how students grow and change through global learning experiences.

We assess impact across key domains – from career readiness and intercultural understanding to sustainability and personal growth – through every stage of the student journey.

Career and professional development

Explore how education abroad enhances students’ readiness for work and life after study.

Cultural competency and global awareness

Track how students engage with global issues and diverse worldviews.

Personal growth and self-awareness

Measure personal development and resilience gained through global mobility.

Communication and interpersonal skills

Evaluate how global learning improves how students interact with others.

Social and environmental impact

Assess how programs shape students’ values and actions beyond themselves.

Learning and applied outcomes

Track how students connect their global experiences to academic learning and real-world contexts.
