1. Beyond the Course List: The Technology Factor
When you receive the list of available mobility destinations, the standard process is an administrative one: you check the compatibility of the courses to ensure that your credits will be recognized upon your return. But in the current context, there’s room for something more.
As noted by professor Paulo Silveira: "Learning platforms might benefit the University’s program exchange not only during the exchange program, but also when potential students are in the process of choosing the destination University. In fact, when communicated as an important part of a specific course (e.g. Digital Marketing course), these simulations might attract potential students as they can be driven by the practical approach that is being promised."
2. Your Skill Set: Hone Your “Hard” and “Soft” Skills
With experience in managing mobility programs, professor Paulo Silveira had this to say: "During the visiting period, such platforms will also add perceived value to those exchange students, as they might feel more engaged to the course contents, and will also feel “fun” by competing with other groups of students. It will also provide a sense of how the “real” world decisions and actions are connected to the concepts and techniques lectured."
Simulation isn’t just an exercise—it’s an intensive boot camp. As you work through the Simbound modules, you’ll build a dual set of skills:
- Hard Skills: You’ll learn the architecture of digital marketing through six modules: Web, SEO, Email, SMM, Community, and Affiliate.
- Soft Skills: You’ll develop your interpersonal skills through communication and problem-solving within a team, as well as your intrapersonal skills, by testing your adaptability, creativity, and time management in a constructive environment.
3. Networking and Performance: Beyond the Classroom
Professor Paulo Silveira also highlights: "These simulation might also be an interesting way to stimulate hybrid or non-outgoing internationalization activities, given that they might serve to join online students from different countries, either competing among them or making them belong to same group, which is probably the best way to stimulate such international cooperation."
Through Simbound, you have the opportunity to demonstrate your skills in a simulation, where your results speak for themselves. It’s more than just studying; it’s a way to connect with an elite community and test your strategies in an international context, providing professors with an objective and dynamic assessment tool.
4. Your Ticket to the Job Market: Your Profile on Marketing Squads
The biggest advantage? The confidence of learning through hands-on experience, without financial risk, followed by instant visibility. Your results from the simulation don’t just stay “locked away in a catalog.”
Through the Marketing Squads platform, you can publish your performance in a professional profile that connects you directly to the business world. This personalized link becomes a valuable addition to your CV or LinkedIn profile, demonstrating to employers what you can truly do.
5. A Global Experience Without Language Barriers
Simbound breaks down language barriers through active partnerships with educational institutions. Because the Erasmus+ program brings together students from all over the world, the Simbound platform is designed to be accessible.
Participation in this program is completely free, offering teachers a flexible tool: they can simultaneously involve students with diverse linguistic backgrounds. These students can collaborate within the same course to translate the software, transforming the learning process into an authentic multicultural experience.
