Increased globalization has resulted in increased internationalization within the higher education environment, however, there is a need to ensure, in light of lessening pandemic restrictions, that forward progress continues in this area. The objective of this study was to assess the ways in which international collaboration could be reinforced in higher education. Qualitative analysis of pre-pandemic efforts led to the identification of recommendations that could be used to strengthen international collaboration. Four recommendations were identified including restrictions on administrative travel, the use of virtual exchanges, the integration of interactive learning management systems, and audits of course syllabi, along with the creation of online portals to promote knowledge gains with respect to internationalization as a campus strategy. Through the completion of this study it was possible to explore the efforts and effectiveness of the implementation of past higher education internationalization programmes and discuss these strategies and the promotion of internationalization in higher education institutions post-COVID-19.
