“…At the start of this project, from a U.K. perspective at least, it would appear we may have wrongly assumed a level of international awareness. This observation supports the comments from Daprano and Titlebaum (2003) who noted that from their experience despite international curriculum content, many undergraduate sport management students in the United States were blissfully unaware of the global transformation of sport and international sport-related issues.…”

“…Using international examples in lectures was the most commonly adapted inclusion technique, followed by discussion on international issues in class. However, while reflecting on the research of Li et al (2002), Daprano and Titlebaum (2003) noted that from their experience many undergraduate sport management students in the United States were blissfully unaware of the global transformation of sport, showing little knowledge of less popular sports in the United States such as cricket and rugby and little understanding of the structure of international sport organisations such as the IOC or FIFA.

Internationalisation of the sport industry has resulted in a demand for integration of international perspectives into the sport management higher education curriculum, to produce graduates capable of working within this rapidly developing global industry. Internationalisation of the curriculum can occur both abroad (i.e., study tour) or at home (i.e., within institution). A collaborative internationalisation at home (IaH) sport management curriculum research project was undertaken between the University of Worcester (the United Kingdom) and La Trobe University (Australia) sport management programmes in 2010. Reflections from the student cohorts and participating academics are presented to provide a case study of a teaching and learning collaboration and to address the lack of individual voice in internationalisation discourse. The results of this study indicate that there are benefits to classroomlevel intervention. However, working within the institutional environment presents challenges to the development and implementation of such projects.
