Résumé
The purpose of the study was to evaluate student exchange experiences to gain insight into what students perceived as benefits, challenges, and overall areas for improvement that might inform and enhance future exchange projects. A general program evaluation survey, adapted to address the project objectives, was conducted. Eight students from Norway, Canada, and South Africa participating in an international exchange project completed an online survey. The responses were coded and organized in themes such as pre-exchange preparation, home/host country support, challenges, and new learning. Despite the challenges the students experienced, students indicated advantages such as new learning, personal development, and expanded professional knowledge. Students gained an international perspective and deeper understanding of their profession and insight into the similarities and differences in clinical practice emphasizing the importance of creating global citizens through internationalization in radiography education. These student experiences confirmed their agency in disposition, motivation, self-efficacy, and position.
