Internationalization of social work education in terms of student mobility, staff mobility, curriculum transaction and research collaboration are getting on priority agendas of universities across the globe. This could be attributed to the demands of the profession to be cultural sensitive and being adaptive to the educational standards which could empower the practice. Indian social work education and its internationalization is discussed in this paper in the context of ‘International student exchanges’ from author’s experience. This paper is descriptive and based on a single case study of one school of social work in South India. Social work interns who participated in international exchanges appreciate the need for knowledge of global priorities and strategies to advance social work education, research and skill development for practice.

This paper identify the importance of International student exchanges in internationalizing Indian social work education as well as opening new avenues of collaboration
