Abstract [en]

Internationalisation at Home (IaH) has an aspiration to make internationalisation endeavours more inclusive and provide the benefits that arise from internationalisation to all students, no matter if they study abroad or not. This thesis investigates how IaH is conducted at ten Swedish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and explores how IaH can be further advanced and developed at one particular HEI. The mixed-methods are used in this study; a web survey and Appreciative Inquiry method are applied. The results disclose the variability of the perceived importance of IaH. Many good practices are taking place at HEIs, but they often represent unequal opportunities for students. There are good preconditions for IaH with yet untapped opportunities. The lack of financial support is the main challenge for improving IaH. Human, intellectual, financial, and organisational resources and collaboration enhancement is needed for advancing IaH activities/mindset. Internationalisation permeating all activities is one of the dream states of IaH identified at studied HEI. A comprehensive approach for further development is needed. The AI method was suitable for connecting all stakeholders openly and collaboratively and building praxis on the existing strengths. Future research is needed to explore the effectiveness of the AI method in advancing IaH at HEIs.
