1. AWARENESS
PASTChanges in the External and Internal environment of higher education have been influential in the Development of Internationalisation
• Prior to the 20th century the international dimension of higher education was more incidental and individual than organised.
• The international dimension as an organised activity – referred to as international education is a product of the 20th century. First mainly in the US for reasons of foreign policy and national security (WW II & the Cold war).
• Around the end of the cold war, this international dimension evolved in into a strategic process referred to as the Internationalisation of Higher Education and became increasingly linked to globalisation and regionalisation of our societies and the impact of this on our higher education.

PRESENTInternationalisation has become an important issue in the development of higher education.
Factors• Competitiveness • The labor market• Globalisation of Societies and Markets• New Knowledge Societies based on Information Technology• New forms of Education & Lifelong learning
1. AWARENESS
TRANSITIONChange of Nature of Higher Education
With further development of globalisation, the international dimension will evolve into an integrated element of higher education and will move away from its present position as an isolated set of activities, strategies and processes.
We see the shift in emphasis from a more traditional form of international education to strategies that are more directly related to the core functions of higher education, and a shift in emphasis from political to economic rationales.

1. AWARENESS
WORKING DEFINITIONIn Higher Education a Definition of Internationalisation in terms of its
desired or intended effects is:

Functions of the Institution.

1. AWARENESS
WHY INTERNATIONALISATION – A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Stakeholders
When analysing rationales, we take into account the diversity of stakeholder groups in higher education and within each stakeholders group:
1. Government: trend away from national governments towards regional bodies (EU) and international entities (UN)
2. Private sector: difference between multinational companies and foundations and smaller national or local companies
3. Educational sector and distinguish several sub groups: - institutional level- teachers and their departments- students

Please review the rationales and sub-categories and discuss:
1.Which of the rationales and added sub-categories are of relevant importance for your functional area
Feel free to skip some sub-categories or add sub-categories, depending on your discussion
2. After selecting the rationales and sub-categories position them in the provided model. (minimum relevant importance in the center – maximum in the edge)
Please discuss at your table the rationales from your shared functional area

APPROACHES TOWARDS INTERNATIONALISATION
CULTURERESOURCECENTRE

3. PLANNING
WHAT - APPROACHES TO INTERNATIONALISATION
1. Activity Approach:
- describes Internationalisation in terms of categories or types of activities.
- focuses exclusively on the content of the activities and does not necessarily include
any of the organisational issues needed to initiate, develop and sustain the activities
2. Rationales Approach:
- describes Internationalisation in terms of its purpose or intended outcomes.
- focuses is on the rationales and does not necessarily include organisational
issues
3. Competency Approach:
- describes Internationalisation in terms of developing new skills, attitudes, and
knowledge in students, faculty, and staff.
- focus is on human dimension – not on academic activities or organisational issues.

WHAT - APPROACHES TO INTERNATIONALISATION
4. Process Approach:
- frames internationalisation as a process that integrates an international dimension
or perspective into the major function of the institution
- A wide range of academic activities, organisational policies and procedures and
strategies are part of this process.
- Key components of Internationalisation are divided in two categories
Program strategies and Organisational Strategies.
This can be seen as the most comprehensive approach to describing
Internationalisation, which is also reflected in the Working Definition
