Description

For some universities a key strategic driver is to increase student exposure and understanding of internationalisation. Another is to increase the employability of their students. This project sought to develop an international dimension to the social policy curriculum within a Work and Professional Development level 2 module (BA Applied Social Sciences). The 'internationalising' of the curriculum is interpreted here either as specific short work experience visits to other countries or via 'desk-based' projects worked on with students from overseas on international aspects of policy work.
