The fourth in a series of case studies commissioned by The Higher Education Academy Subject Centres for Hospitality Leisure Sport and Tourism (HLST) and Business Management Accountancy and Finance (BMAF).
This case study provides a framework of dimensions that can be used to determine the extent of internationalisation within a programme of study. While the framework is generic in nature and likely to be applicable across subject domains it was developed as part of a recent study that identified the extent of internationalisation within UK hospitality management degree programmes.
Through the application of the framework the second part of this case study provides an overview of the current extent of internationalisation within UK undergraduate hospitality management degrees. It highlights the importance of cross-cultural competencies to programme internationalisation and the methods used to develop these within programmes. It also identifies a number of constraints in optimising the international dimensions of degree programmes and the challenges faced by educators as a result.
