This study aims to investigate and evaluate nursing students' perceptions of their learning gains and identify the factors that contribute to academic integration and student learning within the one-week IP course within the Nordplus Programme. The programme, established in 1993, promotes student and teacher mobility and curriculum development in higher education across the Nordic and Baltic countries. The research utilizes a short-term mobility program organized by eight nursing education institutions. To assess the students' experiences, an evaluation form inspired by the Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALGs) questionnaires was developed. Results reveal positive feedback from students regarding the IP course, particularly in terms of interaction with national and international peers and teachers. The study's findings contribute by demonstrating the benefits of a short-term IP course in providing concentrated and flexible learning experiences. The IP course introduces students to additional nursing topics and foster active engagement. The implications suggest that nursing education institutions should consider incorporating more short-term mobility programs to enhance student learning and intercultural experiences. By investing in such initiatives, institutions can cultivate an enriching and supportive learning environment.
