In professional Software Engineering, work is always done in teams. In addition to technical knowledge and skills, Software Engineering education should also provide the graduating students with sufficient professional teamwork related skills, which are needed for successful professional software engineering career. As social activity, teamwork practices are culturally varying and related skills can depend on the education background of the persons as the curriculum and academic culture play a vital role in the way students are educated. Therefore, there is need to make students practice groupwork related skills to better prepare them for the potential teamwork in software industry. The objective of this study is to investigate the role of teamwork related skills in international software engineering education and how cultural background of the students should be taken into account in designing the education. In the study, Focus group was applied as research method. A Focus group session involving experienced Software Engineering teachers was carried out and thematic analysis of the data was conducted. The results of the study showed that education of teamwork related skills is embedded in the group work assignments and tasks in SE courses. While these group study activities are intended for supporting learning in the courses, the students are also expected to learn and get experience of teamwork for their professional career. In designing the teamwork learning in the courses, the teaching context and cultural background of the students should also be understood. In international education, teaching should be adapted to cultural context to achieve good learning results.
