Internationalisation

Internationalisation of the curriculum involves the integration of global perspectives into the design, development and evaluation of programs and courses.

An internationalised curriculum is designed for both domestic and international students. However, at the program level, global sources of knowledge are considered integral, rather than knowledge sources from any single cultural base, and students are encouraged to develop the skills to engage globally. Aspects of the curricula design involved in the internationalising process include overall pedagogy, assessment, graduate qualities, values, culture and intercultural understandings.
