Teaching in an Internationalised Context
Given the increasing numbers of international students, many universities have explored ways of internationalising the curriculum to meet the changing needs and expectations of their students. This session is a taster of what that could look like in your own context.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
• gain knowledge of current practices in internationalising the curriculum in a UK context;
• examine their own practice and identify potential for change.
