What About Us

Globalization and internationalization are related but not the same thing. Globalization is the context of economic and academic trends that are part of the reality of the 21st century. Internationalization includes the policies and practices undertaken by academic systems and institutions—and even individuals—to cope with the global academic environment. The motivations for internationalization include commercial advantage, knowledge and language acquisition, enhancing the curriculum with international content, and many others. Specific initiatives such as branch campuses, cross-border collaborative arrangements, programs for international students, establishing English-medium programs and degrees, and others have been put into place as part of internationalization. Efforts to monitor international initiatives and ensure quality are integral to the international higher education environment.

The Internationalization of Higher Education: Motivations and Realities

A detailed review of the education sector in Australia as in the data provided by the 2006 edition of the OECD's annual publication, 'Education at a Glance' is presented. While the data has shown that in almost all OECD countries educational attainment levels are on the rise, with countries showing impressive gains in university qualifications, it also reveals that a large of share of young people still do not complete secondary school, which remains a baseline for successful entry into the labour market.

Internationalization in Higher Education: Global Trends and Recommendations for Its Future.

Research universities are a central part of all academic systems. They are the key points of international contact and involvement. Research is produced, disseminated and in many cases imported. For developing countries, the mechanisms for the involvement of research universities in the global knowledge economy is complex, and includes issues of mobility, the use of technology, collaboration, and other elements.

The International Academic Profession: Portraits of Fourteen Countries

Universities are singular institutions. They have common historical roots yet are deeply embedded in their societies. Traditionally 61ire institutions, modern universities have provided social mobility to previously disenfranchised groups. Established in the medieval period to transmit established knowledge and provide training for a few key professions, universities over the centuries have become the most important creators of new knowledge through basic research. 1 The contemporary university stands at the centre of its society, an institution which is crucial to every modern society. It is the most important institution in the complex process of knowledge creation and distribution, not only serving as home to most basic science but also to the increasingly complex system of journals, books and data bases which communicate knowledge worldwide. 2
