Description

Globalisation of Higher Education

Are you engaged in the globalisation of higher education?

Reading this book will inspire you to globalise your teaching and learning deliveries!

Globalisation of Higher Education examines how universities are currently dealing with globalisation. Faculty members and administrators at universities share their knowledge and practice of developing international, transnational, or global offerings in educational programmes and courses. They describe their challenges and how they have dealt with those. 

In the book, the authors deal with four important aspects of globalisation.

• political
• institutional
• cultural
• personal

The book explores the idea that globalisation is both an opportunity and a challenge to higher education. Universities open up branches in foreign countries. New educational partnerships are being established across borders. We see the globalisation of higher education on the rise everywhere. Is there a perfect model of globalisation of higher education? The editors think not. Nevertheless, they believe that we can learn a lot from studying excellent contextual globalisation practices taking place at universities around the world. This book presents 11 cases of globalisation of higher education. The cases are grouped within four perspectives: 1) political perspectives 2) institutional perspectives 3) cultural perspectives 4) personal perspectives.
