A new report is calling for internationalisation at home to be a central part of the UK’s next higher education strategy, as it warns of a decline in international diversity within universities.
The report, released by the International Higher Education Commission, in its title asks ‘Is the UK developing global mindsets?’ and goes on to warn of the hollowing out of “international” capacity and capability on UK campuses.
Chairman of IHEC and former universities minister Chris Skidmore said the issue of internationalisation at home has in the past been “under-appreciated”.
By definition the report describes IaH as “the purposeful integration of international and intercultural dimensions into the formal and informal curriculum of all students within the domestic learning environment”.
