Internationalisation in Teaching and Learning. A dynamic Process of Individual and Organisational Change

Internationalising study programs has become indispensable for higher education institutions worldwide. However, this intricate process involves multiple dimensions, stakeholders, levels, and domains, and requires individual and organisational changes that often lead to tensions. Given the significance of internationalisation for teaching, learning, and society, understanding these tensions within increasingly diverse higher education institutions is essential. This keynote will address how organisational change theory can be used to improve the internationalisation of teaching and learning. Drawing on extensive PhD research and 30 years of experience in higher education, findings from four study programs across different disciplines will be presented, along with the implications for strategy and policy development, engaging staff and students, and providing adequate support.
