Intro
Newcastle University has over 25000 students and specialises in public research.
After the publication of the HE report on the experiences of international students in UK University, Newcastle University were keen to understand how they could develop an international mind-set and become more cross culturally competent.
Their ambition was to ensure they could provide an excellent student experience but also infuse their teaching and learning content and styles with cross cultural principles.
