Abstract: The Global University: The Role of the Curriculum argues that high quality higher education should be concerned with preparing students - ethically and intellectually - for active global citizenship. Curriculum leaders have a vital role to play in designing and delivering courses and modules that equip students with this global perspective. With this in mind, this book: discusses the concept of global perspectives in diverse higher education curricula; records ways that global perspectives can feature in the curricula; explores the values of innovative approaches, including experiential and participatory learning and showcases examples of good practice in teaching and learning.
