A Global

Phenomenon
Internationalization strategies are

moving to the top of the agenda of

higher education institutions

worldwide.

Globalization is having a transformative

effect on the core functions of

institutions of higher education.

Almost all higher education institutions,

both public and commercial, are rapidly

evolving into global players, mirroring a

trend seen in many other businesses.

Internationalization as a goal in itself instead
of as a means to an end.
