Welcome to Internationalisation at the University of Portsmouth
Internalisation in higher education involves integrating international, intercultural and global dimensions into the day-to-day activities of universities. This can involve attracting and supporting international students, fostering global partnerships, developing curricula with an international perspective and encouraging staff and student mobility to prepare students for a globalised workforce.
