Internationalising the curriculum is a central agenda for most Higher Education providers considering the increasing need for graduate capabilities to embrace global ways of thinking and doing that span both social and professional domains. The Design industry is characteristically international in outlook and as such Design graduates, irrespective if they plan on working or living abroad, benefit from meaningful and robust exposure to both disciplinary and inter/transdisciplinary global perspectives during their study. The desire for accelerating authentic international experiences comes with significant risk, from both an institutional level and for those directly engaged in the international activity. This chapter explores the transdisciplinary New York Design and Art Australian University study tour, proposing that an international study amplifies the risk / reward relationship to build a space where on tour ‘risky learning’ occurs fostering and encouraging a new milieu of the travelling Design professional.
