ABSTRACT
This chapter explores a project that is set up to examine student perspectives of Internationalization at Home through examination of the curriculum itself and relationships between staff/students and students/students. In December 2011, funding was gained from the Higher Education Academy to employ five students for fifteen months to become full members of a research team investigating the development of student intercultural competencies in the international classroom. Language was perceived to be a barrier at the beginning of the project, but this was soon overcome. The focus groups were all conducted very successfully, providing a lot of valuable insights into the interaction of students from diverse backgrounds, which can be used in the next stages of the project: designing materials and influencing the curriculum development to take account of internationalization and the development of intercultural competencies.
