Educating for Internationalisation and Global Engagement

The course aims to develop the student’s knowledge of the prerequisites relating to internationalisation of higher education, and of how work with internationalisation can be designed to enhance the quality of education.

The course is based on the remit of internationalisation as an aspect of quality within higher education. The course provides a basis both for work in the international classroom and for internationalisation at home.
Discussion during the course centres on the significance of the internationalisation of higher education and how this can be translated into teaching practice. Various aspects of internationalisation in higher education are addressed, such as:

- The added value of internationalisation?
- Internationalisation at home
- Meeting with the international classroom and teaching in another language
- The diversification of literature and examples outside one's own national context and the Western world
- The utilisation of one’s own international experiences in education as well as those of other students.
- The raising of awareness and discussion of goals and purpose within higher education and different educational cultures
