In this chapter, we present and apply a framework for analysing and evaluating tertiary curricula from the perspective of internationalisation. This framework is in the form of a model developed from our own (and various colleagues') research on lecturers' and students' conceptions of sustainability, viewed as a component of internationalisation, and conceptions of internationalisation itself. To put our framework to the test, we apply it to four case studies of tertiary units of study in a disparate range of disciplines: mathematics, aesthetics, marketing and statistics. The last of these is an ‘auto case study’, since the unit is taught by one of the authors of the chapter (Peter).
