- Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education1 September 2017 - 1 December 2025Due to the increasing internationalisation of Higher Education, many universities have made it central to their strategic policies. Karolinska Institutet (KI) has started internationalising its education programmes and shifted focus to its defining element, the curriculum. By connecting strategic planning to student learning, the curriculum plays a major role in the success or failure of internationalisation policies. Despite the resources invested in internationalising education, the role and power of the curriculum have been overlooked. The aim of this project is for KI to adopt the process of Internationalisation of the Curriculum (IoC). IoC breaks new ground in connecting research-based evidence with practice by applying innovative curricular design to internationalise teaching and learning. It is a consultative process involving university leadership, academic programmes, the students who study them, and the academics who design, deliver and assess them, as well as support services. KI must instigate a paradigm shift in its conception of education by developing the underpinning values, beliefs and priorities it has thus far set. IoC will provide such a framework for KI, that will, in turn, provide a frame of reference for Swedish Higher Education Institutions.
