Abstract

We offer this symposium based on a number of perceptions. Firstly, the conception of internationalisation represented by the strong tradition of staff and student exchanges is gradually giving way to a new and much broader and diversified notion of internationalisation in Higher Education (HE). Secondly, the trend towards rising numbers of international students in UK HE is likely to continue, further raising the profile of issues surrounding cultural diversity and intercultural learning within the sector. Thirdly, across Europe a paradigm shift away from diversity towards convergence and structural harmonisation is being fuelled by the continuing ‘Bologna process’.
