This descriptive pilot study investigates and evaluates nursing students’ perceptions of their learning gains and the factors contributing to academic integration within a one-week Intensive Programme (IP) course, part of the Nordplus Programme. Nordplus encourages mobility and curriculum development across Nordic and Baltic higher education. The study used a short-term mobility program involving eight nursing education institutions as its setting. Students’ experiences were captured using an evaluation form inspired by the Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALGs) questionnaires. The results reveal positive student responses to the IP course, particularly regarding interactions with peers and teachers. The study underscores the potential of short-term IP courses in providing concentrated learning experiences, broadening nursing topics, and fostering 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
