Abstract	Purpose: There are few means of measuring whether universities have effective international programmes or policies in response to increasing globalisation. The purpose of this paper is to report on the development and testing of a model for measuring the internationalisation of universities and to assist with the strategic planning of interationalisation. Design/methodology/approach: The 11-dimension model was developed as a result of a literature search and interviews with academic and non-academic university staff. The model was trialled with a range of New Zealand and overseas universities. Findings: The model received widespread support as a useful way of conceptualising and visualising the internationalisation of universities. Measurement of internationalisation was demonstrated. The model was useful for the facilitation of the planning of investment in the various dimensions that make up internationalisation. The "star" model displayed both the current and ideal levels of internationalisation in visual form for an institution. It can be used to make systematic decisions about future institutional activity resource investment. Research limitations/implications: The testing is limited and will need to be extended to other countries, types of universities, faculties, departments and programmes. Originality/value: The model is useful to those who manage the internationalisation of universities, clarifying the concept and making systematic action to increase internationalisation possible.
