Abstract
The internationalisation of higher education is a key priority for the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. Its aim is that all students in the Netherlands will have obtained international and intercultural competences upon graduation. As it is expected that, even in the near future, not all students will go abroad during their studies, this article discusses how internationalisation at home (IaH) can be stimulated based on the results of a study of 54 Dutch Higher Education institutions (van Gaalen, Hobbes, Roodenburg, & Gielesen, 2014). No less than 91% of Dutch institutions participating in the study have an internationalisation policy at the central level.
