Internationalizing the University (Continuum Studies in Education) Sue Robson

<div> Globalization is changing the face of Higher Education across the world. Academics and students today are internationally mobiles and unprecedented numbers of international exchanges are cross-border education projects are being developed. <br/><br/> The implications for individual universities are significant: international students can bring much needed revenues to boost university coffers and stimulate university classrooms but they also have high expectations and demands. <br/><br/> This book discusses the implications for those involved in managing the organizational processes and those designing programmes and supporting the student experience. A key concern in the text is that of reciprocal internationalization - the importance for universities to develop within an internationally-integrated environment rather than as national universities which accommodate the needs of people from other countries into their pre-existing practices. <br/><br/> The emphasis throughout the discussion is therefore on the development of inter-cultural competences for university people supported by sustainable international management practices.</div><br/><div> </div>>
