A view towards internationalisation at the University of Iceland: Lessons learned from the International Studies in Education Programme.

A special programme at the Univeristy of Iceland aims to provide educational opportunities for a diverse student population in the Icelandic higher educational context. The authors conduct a concept analysis of strategic policies of the University of Iceland and its aims at internationalisation in relation to changing demographics within the student population. They propose a broader definition of internationalisation and argue for increased recognition of the programme´s contribution to the univeristy´s internationalisation policy. The intention is to contribute to the dialogue on what constitutes quality international higher education at local, national and global levels.
