This handbook has been created with the aim of providing a resource that can assist colleagues involved with Internationalisation at Home (IaH) activities in university contexts. It also has an accompanying infographic for download.
It is designed to help university practitioners develop a systematic approach to IaH that aligns to broader university practices and raises the profile of this activity.
Universities are operating against a backdrop of developing environmentally sustainable practices, widening participation from traditionally under-represented backgrounds in global activities, financial pressures, and ensuring inclusivity and belonging amongst its student cohorts.

These activities can also help institutions make progress towards a range of key policy and strategic missions, including: global engagement; employability; equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI); sustainability; participation; and progression. The case studies that appear throughout this handbook demonstrate how IaH can make a positive contribution to a range of mission-critical areas of priority for the university sector.
The handbook and infographic has been created by members of UUKi’s working group for Internationalisation at Home, part of the Outward Student Mobility Network (OSM). The group has representation from across the UK sector and is led by Anthony Manning and Emma Marku from the University of Kent.
Join us at Global Mobility Conference 2024 on 20 February at Lancaster University to hear more from the creators of the handbook in their dedicated session.
