Internationalization of Higher Education: Global Trends, Regional Perspectives

3rd Global Survey on Internationalization: Internationalization of Higher Education: Global Trends, Regional Perspectives

The very nature of the International Association of Universities requires that the association pay attention to the trends and developments in the internationalization process. For almost a decade now, the IAU has surveyed its Members and the wider higher education community of institutions and university associations to learn more about the strategies and the approaches to internationalization that are being invented and applied around the world.

By publishing reports of the findings, the IAU shares this knowledge widely and underlines both the positive and the potentially negative aspects of this transformative process that is labelled the internationalization of higher education.

This 3rd Global Survey is the largest one undertaken so far. It builds on the excellent analytical work done by Dr. Jane Knight in the past two IAU surveys (2003 and 2005) and draws on the expert input of a group of higher education professionals and specialists from every region of the world.
