Full Description
This latest volume
in the Learning in Higher Education series, Globalisation of Higher Education,
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
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.
Globalisation
of Higher Education examines how universities are
currently dealing with globalisation. Chapters are written by faculty members
and administrators at universities, who all share the knowledge and practice of
having developed international, transnational, or global offerings in form of
educational programmes and courses. They describe their challenges, and how
they have dealt with those.
