Title: Internationalisation of the curriculum in higher education: a case from a Mozambican university Authors: Ndaipa, Charnaldo Jaime; Edström, Kristina; Langa, Patrício; Geschwind, Lars Abstract: Internationalisation of the curriculum has been the subject of various debates in recent years in higher education institutions. In particular, the need to incorporate local knowledge systems when internationalising the curriculum con­ tinues to be a major challenge in African universities. This study explores faculty members’ experiences inherent in the internationalisation of the curriculum at one Mozambican university. On the basis of semi-structured interviews with eleven faculty members, two research questions were investigated: (1) How do faculty members understand the internationalisation of the curriculum in their university? (2) How are local knowledge systems embedded in the internationalisation of the university curriculum? The findings revealed that the internationalisation of the curriculum is mainly understood in terms of developing intercultural knowledge, skills and values; mobility of students, teachers and academic programmes; and teaching international students and languages. Some practices suggest opportu­ nities for a more decolonised approach in the internationalisation of the university curriculum, such as the integration of local languages and the practice of eth­ noscience, with the main focus on ethnomathematics

Title: University-industry linkages’ literature on Sub-Saharan Africa: systematic literature review and bibliometric account Authors: Zavale, Nelson Casimiro; Langa, Patrício Victorino Abstract: As a result of the growing interest on University-Industry Linkages (UIL)’ research, systematic literature reviews and bibliometric studies have been undertaken to describe the state-of-the-art and provide a quantitative overview of the literature on UILs. However, these reviews have mainly enhanced the visibility of UILs’ literature targeting developed countries. UILs’ literature focusing on developing countries, particularly on Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), is generally less visible. This paper seeks to fill this gap and to enhance the visibility of UILs’ focusing on SSA, by undertaking a systematic literature review and displaying its bibliometric portrait. More specifically, the paper addresses the evolution, sources, main research questions, units of analysis, methods, countries resear- ched, the influence of this literature, as well as its main findings. Based on Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar, 230 relevant articles have been identified and analysed. The paper’s findings demonstrate that, while SSA continues to be an under-research terrain, the quantity of literature targeting this continent seems to be substantial and higher than it is often portrayed. The findings also demonstrate the dominance of South Africa, Nigeria and developed countries, both as knowledge producers and consumers of literature focusing on SSA. African poor countries seem to suffer from a double neglect: they are under-re- searched, but also ignored when research on them is produced. The paper argues, therefore, for the need to reconsider the place of African low-income countries in UILs’ research, both as empirical fields and as incipient knowledge producers

Title: A disjointed multi-campus system: the neo-liberal expansion and fragmentation of Mozambican higher education Authors: Langa, Patrício Abstract: This paper tries to accomplish two tasks. First, it uses a critical review of the concept of differentiation to shed light on the expansion of the Mozambican higher education system, a consequence of the global neoliberal dynamics of higher education. Second, the neoliberal framework is applied to account for the development of multi-campus systems in the country. The paper argues that, on the one hand, the dispersion of mul- ti-campuses resulted from an early stage of loosely regulated expansion and differentiation of higher education in the context of the liberalisation of higher education. On the other hand, the competition for students, in a market driven economy dominated by the existence of two main public institutions absorbing two-thirds of the students, prompted the establishment of satellite campuses by both private and public institutions, with serious and adverse implications for quality

Title: Explaining utilization of HIV prevention and testing services among university students in Mozambique: results from a mixed methods study Authors: Hooft, Anneka; Pfeil, Sarah; Mussengue, Josina; Jetha, Eunice; He, Feng; Jain, Sonia; Manuel, Sandra; Langa, Patrício V.; Sundararajan, Radhika Abstract: Background: In Mozambique, HIV infection disproportionately affects young adults, particularly women. Despite awareness and knowledge of HIV transmission, many university students have not received HIV testing and continue to engage in high-risk sexual behaviors, including inconsistent condom use. Further understanding of patterns of engagement with HIV prevention and testing is key to reducing HIV transmission in this at-risk population. Methods: This study used a sequential mixed methods approach to examine patterns of engagement and perceptions of HIV prevention and testing services among higher education students in Mozambique. Survey data were collected from a representative sample of 501 students from Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (UEM) in Maputo, Mozambique to assess the primary outcomes of 1) HIV testing within the last 12 months; and 2) condom use during last sexual encounter. We employed univariate and multivariate regression models. The survey was followed by qualitative interviews with 70 survey participants which were analyzed using an inductive, content- focused analysis to further explain and contextualize survey findings. Results: Over 85% of students reported to be sexually active, among these 74% reported condom use during their last sexual encounter, and 64.2% reported an HIV test within the past 12 months. Females were more likely to have had HIV testing in the past 12 months in comparison to their male peers (aOR 1.82, 95% CI 1.11, 2.99), but were half as likely to have used a condom with their last sexual encounter (aOR 0.52, 95% CI 0.33, 0.83), when controlling for other factors. Qualitative data suggests that these discrepancies may be explained by differential perceptions in risk and trust/mistrust, with women being more concerned about infidelity by their male partner(s) and assuming more responsibility for knowing their own serostatus. Women were also subject to negative stereotypes for possessing condoms in comparison to men, which could explain lower propensity for use Conclusion: Given gendered differences in uptake of condom use and HIV testing, and perceived HIV risk, interventions tailored specifically to male and female students may impact engagement with HIV prevention and testing and empower informed choices about sexual behaviors
