Drivers of Globalisation in Higher Education
•
•
•
•
•
Research
excellence demands it
– E.g., UK’s Research Excellence
Framework
Students and employers
demand it
Increased
access
to Higher Education
and cultural
convergence
enable it
–
Number of Chinese university
students tripled from 2001 to 2010
–
Spread of English both reflects and
reinforces mobility
Governments
(and college
rankings)
are
creating incentives
–
E.g., through dedicated pots of
research funding such UKIERI and
Newton Fund
Technology
creates new and cheaper
ways to achieve it
Universities are
becoming
increasingly
interconnected
with people and
institutions
across the
world

Spain 2% Belgium 2%
France 7%
All Others 34%
Germany 9%
United

United States
28%
Asia as an emerging US and UK
competitor
•
Rise of China
•
Many students stay close to
home: 81% in foreign
students in Japan and 75% in
Korea come from other East
Asian countries.
•
As universities in developing
Asia improve, will students
go there instead of the UK or
US? E.g. integration in ASEAN
2012
Worldwide: 4.3 million students
Canada 5% Japan 3%
Australia 6%

ambitious universities in smaller and less
“mature” markets
…and now China and others are
There is a long
tradition of staff
mobility across
English-speaking
countries and the
West generally…

• China’s 1000

programme provides rich funding
for ethnic Chinese academic and
has exceeded target (attracting
more than 3,000 in 5 years)
• Russia’s 5/100 initiative aims to
increase proportion of
international staff to 10% by 2020
…but obstacles remain
•

Numbers remain

2B: International experiences are increasingly
seen as core by students, employers, and
governments
•
Global citizenship:
–
Language skills, inter-cultural
competencies, flexibility and
area-specific knowledge.
–
61% of Erasmus students
indicate that they use the
knowledge they had acquired
abroad ‘to a high extent’ even 5
years later
Marketable skills:
–
Unemployment rate for
Erasmus alumni 23% lower five
years after graduation
–
64% of employers state that
international experience is an
‘important’ factor in recruiting
new employees
•
Germany
aiming for half of all
students to experience study
abroad by 2020 (up from a third
today)
•
USA’s
Institute of International
Education aiming to double the
number of US students
studying abroad to 20% by
2019
•
Oxford
has built a set of 500+
internships for its students
around the world
•
Some universities creating
foreign centres/campuses
largely to develop international
experiences for their students,
e.g.
University of New
England’s
campus in Tangier,
Morocco
