N2 - Internationalisation of the sport industry has resulted in a demand for integration of
international perspectives into the sport management higher education curriculum,
to produce graduates capable of working within this rapidly developing global
industry. Internationalisation of the curriculum can occur both abroad (i.e., study
tour) or at home (i.e., within institution). A collaborative internationalisation at home
(IaH) sport management curriculum research project was undertaken between the
University of Worcester (the United Kingdom) and La Trobe University (Australia)
sport management programmes in 2010. Reflections from the student cohorts and
participating academics are presented to provide a case study of a teaching and
learning collaboration and to address the lack of individual voice in internationalisation
discourse. The results of this study indicate that there are benefits to classroomlevel
intervention. However, working within the institutional environment presents
challenges to the development and implementation of such projects.
