This paper will describe ways in which both the formal and informal curriculum can be used to improve the student experience of internationalisation - and the importance of focussing on both to encourage and reward intercultural engagement.



It draws on the results of several research studies to present some strategies for facilitating meaningful interaction between students from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds in and out of the classroom.



Principles and guidelines for structuring formal and informal curricular activities and services, teaching and learning activities and a taxonomy of intercultural competence to guide learning and assessment task design are described.



The paper concludes that the development of intercultural competence in students is a key outcome of an internationalised curriculum which requires a campus environment and culture which obviously motivates and rewards interaction between international and home students in and out of the classroom. This means that while academic staff have a critical role to play, a much larger group will need to engage with the internationalisation agenda in order to improve interactions between home and international students.
