Internationalization funded projects

These projects focused upon embedding internationalization within undergraduate or graduate degree programs. Internationalization implies integrating an intercultural dimension into the teaching and learning process so that students can acquire an appreciation and understanding of international perspectives and competencies.

There are four funding categories.

  • Category I: Pan-University Projects
  • Category II A: Curricular Innovation Projects
  • Category II B: Curricular Innovation Grant-Innovative Course Prototyping
  • Category III: Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Projects
