Internationalising the Curriculum

A curriculum lies at the core of every degree programme, and at UAS for Business & Society the curriculums ensure that all of our students develop international and intercultural skills during their studies. With this in mind, the university implemented a curriculum internationalisation project entitled ‘Internationalising the Curriculum – Quality Assurance for International and Intercultural Competences’ from September 2017 to August 2021.
