Challenges and conflicts in the internationalisation of planning education

The main contribution of this paper is to explore how changes are being reflected in the internationalisation of planning education programmes in Ireland. Education in planning as a professional discipline partly reflects the changing needs of the profession. This study specifically examines how a widening internationalisation of student intake can drive curriculum change and enhance the educational experience of both local and incoming students. It also contributes to discussions on planning curricula and subject-specific pedagogical developments.
