Abstract
In this chapter, I discuss internationalisation of curriculum (IoC) in the context of an undergraduate nursing curriculum. As the previous Program Director of the undergraduate nursing program at the University of Queensland, Australia (a role I occupied for over two years), I explore the individual elements of the curriculum such as content, assessment, the teaching and learning processes in relation to internationalisation, and explain how as a teaching team, our readiness for internationalisation caused us to look inwards at our own curriculum.
