Internationalization of Higher Education in China and Australia

  • Chapter
Multidisciplinary Research Perspectives in Education

Abstract

Scientific and technological advances, along with processes of globalization, have reinvented the ways in which knowledge is imparted and gained in the 21st century. These include increasing tendencies, especially in the last two decades, to internationalize the higher education sector to efficiently accommodate the needs of local and international students. One of the main goals of higher education is to prepare and develop students with intercultural awareness, knowledge and skills to work in local and global contexts and contribute to communities (Nussbaum, 2010).
