title: The internationalisation of the nursing curriculum.
abstract: This paper explores the complexities of the internationalisation of the nursing curriculum. It discusses one aspect of the international activity within a British University, a short student exchange programme and how this facilitates personal and professional learning. The paper focuses on the educational, professional, geo-political and philosophical ideas that influenced the development of these exchanges. The process of facilitating cultural and professional learning following Campinha-Bacote's model (1999) [Campinha-Bacote, J., 1999. A model and instrument for addressing cultural competence in health care. Journal of Nurse Education 38 (5) 203-7] for developing cultural competence is applied and discussed.
