Purpose: Researchers piloted a problem-based learning (PBL) activity in a master's degree-granting strategic studies program to explore how students apply knowledge and skills learned from the curriculum to their formulation of a strategy addressing a real-world global security scenario. Design/methodology/approach: This mixed-methods pilot study…

The internationalisation of Higher Education is broadly seen as a positive development. It is a process that is said to contribute to intercultural skills acquisition, which is deemed crucial in today's globalised society.
