The scoping review examines the internationalization of curricula in hard disciplines from Chinese perspectives. The review highlights the understanding and implementation of Internationalization of Curriculum (IoC) in Chinese higher education. The understanding of IoC among the selected articles includes internationalization of teaching methods, internationalization of content, and teaching in English. The implementation of IoC focuses on assessment, teacher resources and students, teaching materials, and teaching methods. Diversified assessment and evaluation systems are emphasized, along with the importance of qualified teachers with international experiences and English proficiency. The use of textbooks in English and the integration of online resources are discussed as essential components of an international curriculum. Pedagogical changes, such as student-centred approaches and the incorporation of cross-cultural dimensions, are also explored. Overall, the review provides insights into the current state and challenges of implementing IoC in Chinese higher education.
