Abstract
Internationalisation is one of Macquarie University’s objectives for the 21st century. One dimension of this is internationalisation of the student body through the recruitment of international students for undergraduate and postgraduate programs. The Master of Accounting program attracts international students who aim to become professional accountants. Within the program, increasing cultural diversity in the class room has presented opportunities and challenges, along with other changes in professional accounting work and professional accreditation requirements. This paper will describe an interdisciplinary and collaborative project that has been developed to meet these challenges, with reference to those aspects of the project that contribute to its effectiveness.
