  3. What is the relationship between internationalisation and global perspectives? • Focus of this study is on Learning and Teaching and Academic Programmes • Defining curricula as ‘sites for social interaction’ (Lattuca, L. 2006) ‘students ……..influence….an academic plan, bringing prior knowledge, goals, motivations, expectations, needs, skills, and capacities to the learning experience and thus shaping the outcomes of the curricula’ (Lisa Lattuca, 2006)
