The internationalisation literature review in higher education synthesised over 600 research publications written by global authors in the last 10 years. The review focussed on one primary question: what is internationalisation actually doing for students’ higher education experiences?

The findings identified 11 broad thematic categories in the research literature about internationalisation, and while identifying a number of areas of excellent practice, the authors also highlight the need for the sector to carefully focus internationalisation strategies in several key areas. Join members of the review team who will be discussing these findings at the forthcoming webinars, where you will also have an opportunity to pose questions and engage directly with the team.
