ABSTRACT
This chapter shows, the notion of curriculum is being redefined by modern practices. These include institutions establishing campuses in other countries, where the curriculum draws strongly from the home institution but is inevitably imbued with local influences. Or an institution adopting a policy in which all students are obliged to follow an international curriculum. An alternative to foreign campuses are collaborative programmes, also referred to as 'highly integrated international curricula'. These can be defined as a degree programme that is offered by two or more institutions in different countries and features a jointly developed and integrated curriculum, as well as a clear agreement on credit recognition. The question it asked was whether an international curriculum automatically gave students the opportunity to enhance or gain cosmopolitan assets. Foreign campuses and collaborative programmes were included as an example of common forms of international education in which students are given the opportunity to participate in an international curriculum.
