Abstract

This report presents a comprehensive evaluation of the CIVIS Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) implemented during the 2024-2025 academic year. Its purpose is to assess the quality, effectiveness, and added value of BIPs from both student and coordinator perspectives, with a particular focus on administrative processes, mobility arrangements, teaching and learning experiences, digital environments, and the integration of CIVIS educational values. The report aims to inform strategic decision-making, quality enhancement, and the future development of BIPs within the CIVIS Alliance. The analysis draws on quantitative and qualitative data collected through structured online surveys administered to both students and coordinators. A total of 611 students (out of 1.534 students, 39.83%) who participated in CIVIS BIPs responded to the student survey, representing a wide range of disciplines, institutions, and levels of study (bachelor, master, and doctoral levels). In parallel, 40 responses from BIP coordinators were collected, representing 39 BIPs out of the 70 implemented during the reference academic year, with one response consolidating input from two coordinators. Together, these data provide a robust and multi-perspective evidence base for assessing programme performance and impact.
