INTERNATIONALIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION: DEFINITION AND DESCRIPTION
Abstract
Higher education has now become a part of the wider globalization process. Due to globalization, the internationalization of higher education is regarded as one of the leading trends that determine the value foundations of the functioning of modern universities. The internationalization activities of a university in modern conditions can be perceived as a value that requires its introduction into the general system of norms that form the academic culture of an educational institution. This article investigates the concept of higher education internationalization, which has become common practice for almost all higher education institutions all over the world. It discusses the concept of internationalization and globalization from historical perspective and highlights the difference of internationalization from globalization. It also talks about the way contemporary universities tend to approach this concept at their campuses.
