Internationalisation refers broadly to the inclusion of international and intercultural elements across the full range of higher education activities and services. This often focuses on teaching and learning provisions, including internationalised curricula and pedagogies, but also impacts the recruitment of international students (and their subsequent support), provisions for study abroad, intercultural social opportunities on campus, or opportunities for online collaborations across geographic borders (among others). In recent decades, internationalisation has become a strategic focus for many universities around the world, influencing (and in some cases, pressuring) changes in practices and services. 

Our literature review has synthesised over 600 research publications written by global authors in the last 10 years about different facets of internationalisation, focusing specifically on whether and how internationalisation demonstrably impacts students’ outcomes and experiences. We wanted to answer the simple question: what is internationalisation actually doing for students’ higher education experiences?
