Abstract

This article considers internationalisation policy and practice in Australian institutions, with a focus on the internationalisation of student experiences. This is particularly relevant to the majority of students who remain at their home campus for their course duration and who are immersed in the multicultural environment in which they live. The discussion recognises the political and historical context of international education in Australia and discusses the opportunities Australian institutions have to develop practical models of cultural awareness and to work with diversity in student groups. The article uses examples of policy and practical initiatives in universities, as well as discussion of a specific secondary school in Melbourne, Australia, currently using organisational structure, curriculum and innovative practice to internationalise its learning community.
