Students’ perception of internationalisation of curriculum design in business faculties: An exploratory study

The globalisation of business and increasing workforce diversity have necessitated preparing graduates with the expertise to perform in a competitive global environment. This study investigates whether students in Malaysian private universities are aware of the internationalisation of their curriculum. Using Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) and SPSS, the research explores the relationship between students’ perceived awareness and internationalisation of the curriculum. Statistical results reveal that students believe curriculum content and teaching/advising positively affect internationalisation. Descriptive analysis further shows that International student-exchange is the most favourable strategy among students, followed by work/study abroad and service-learning experiences.
