This is a summary of the report A CHANGING WORLD: the internationalisation experiences of staff and students (home and international) in UK Higher Education that contained research that explored staff and home and international students' perceptions of internationalisation in their institutions.
Internationalisation is often theorised at an organisational and strategic level but there have been fewer investigations of individuals' experiences and perceptions and the 'complexities of intercultural encounters and communication'. This study considered staff and students' perceptions across five specific areas asking: 1) what the terms 'internationalisation' 'internationalising the curriculum' 'teaching and learning in an international landscape' mean; 2) the extent of internationalisation within their institution; 3) the effects of internationalisation on teaching and learning; 4) the challenges they have faced and their successes; 5) how internationalisation could be developed further in their discipline and institution.
