Abstract

Comparative and international education (CIE) offers undergraduate students a perspective on education systems and contexts beyond their own direct experience. In this chapter, we introduce CIE as a field, and share an overview of what is currently taught within CIE units and modules at undergraduate level in the UK. To do so, we draw on a review of CIE units at 24 UK universities – perhaps even including your own institution, and units that you may have taken or consider taking in the future. Our findings demonstrate some key current debates within the field and push readers to think more deeply about the values, priorities and assumptions that we may take for granted in studying others’ approaches to education.
