Paper Abstract:
|
Higher education in Australia and around the world is increasingly becoming international, with high numbers of international students. Institutes benefit from the rich diversity that these international students bring, however recognising this diversity and incorporating it into curricular is a significant challenge. A number of institutions have identified their own Graduate Qualities to differentiate them from their competitors. These are the qualities that their graduates are expected to be able to demonstrate towards the end of their studies. This paper aims to report on an ongoing exercise at the Wollongong College Australia to try to incorporate its Graduate Qualities into its curriculum while addressing the needs of a very diverse student cohort. |
