Internationalization of Higher Education

The internationalization of higher education has expanded over the last decades. Numbers of students, teaching staff, and researchers that cross borders are increasing and institutional activities and strategies for internationalization have become more elaborate. Their aims and rationales include networking for mutual understanding and intercultural learning, for achieving academic excellence, and for providing assistance to build capacity in other countries. As the context is increasingly characterized by global competition in which knowledge is a prime factor for economic growth, internationalization has also become more market oriented, aiming to attract talented students and highly skilled workers as key resources for the knowledge economy.
