The topic of internationalisation of home has been very popular lately as more universities explore the benefits of providing an international perspective to their students. 

This summer course is one of the very few providing a comprehensive view on the multiple facets of IaH in an intensive format that brings together experienced moderators, instructors and participants, and allows for mutual learning.

The course will offer participants an occasion to discuss the challenges and opportunities brought about by the internationalization of universities. It would also present and discuss a wide range of case studies - including successful and less successful ones - and challenge course participants to re-examine the degree of internationalization in their own institution and national higher education system, as well as bring internationalization at home in line with their universities’ mission.

The course is aimed primarily at representatives of higher education institutions interested to enhance their international character. It encourages peer learning and experience-sharing among participants. It intends to bring together:

•    university leaders and managers involved or interested in increasing the internationalization of their policies and curricula

•    faculty members designing or redesigning their courses for either an international cohort of students and/or developing courses of an international focus or character

•    staff members working in international offices, quality assurance offices or on curriculum development

•    students involved in university governance

•    representatives of education think tanks
