Academic Year 2024/2025
As higher education institutions become increasingly global and attract students from diverse cultural backgrounds, those who teach face a growing need to develop culturally-responsive approaches to teaching, learning and assessment. This module is designed to address this need.

The module aims to enhance awareness of what it means to teach and learn across cultures. It encourages participants to critically reflect on their personal and professional intercultural competence and supports them to:
- Develop effective teaching and learning strategies for diverse cohorts.
- Design and assess culturally inclusive, internationalised curricula.
- Creates opportunities for students to enhance their own international and intercultural perspectives and competences.
Participants will be introduced to relevant theoretical models, principles, and concepts related to intercultural learning. Participants will gain theoretical and practical tools for teaching and learning across cultures.

Topics include:
- How culture shapes teaching and learning
- Internationalisation in higher education
- Designing culturally-responsive curricula
