Internalisation of University



Internationalisation has become a catchword of the times in higher education. Its wider use is due to an increasing interest in the international dimension of higher education, particularly during the past few years, which in turn has led to its emergence as a research area in its own right.
Later crate confusion between modern university, nationalisation, regionalisation, internationalisation and Internalisation. All these can be blended together for the internationalisation.
The present world is becoming more multi-polarised, so too is academia. This provides some universities in developing countries with more possibilities to avoid marginalisation
English language, which has been regarded as an obstacle to university development in developing countries. More and more academic research papers written in English are published in international journals.
Internationalisation and university development are linked to each other. Nowadays, the institutional standing of the chair, department and institute have become one of the main tests of a university as a research and teaching organisation.

The Internationalisation Strategy may cover:

Research and partnerships
Curriculum
The student experience
Staff development
Transnational programs
Standards and quality assurance
