In recent decades, a growing number of countries have faced the phenomenon of rapidly expanding higher education. However many Governments simply do not have the ability or will to meet this demand. In this situation, one of the main solutions is the internationalisation of higher education systems, and trade of knowledge has now become the main channel for promoting higher education systems. The current situation in the Israeli higher education system can be presented as a test case for demonstrating this theory. This poster shows that by statistical and empirical tools, the promotion of programs for student/staff exchanges and academic cooperation will bring academic and financial benefits to higher education systems.

This poster outlines the context in which 21st century universities have to operate and asks whether this type of education provides students the skills they need for successful careers - and lives - as global citizens. The rapid acceleration of technological change underpins the transformation of both individual careers and the development of highly complex workplaces. Successful graduates must be technologically literate, globally astute, operationally agile and internationally mobile. University leaders must understand this if they wish to meet the challenge of providing talent for the global society.
Speaker: David Law, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Edge Hill University.
This poster presentation will focus on the role of the Centre for Modern Languages, Human Sciences at Universiti Malaysia in carrying out the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia’s five year strategic plan for all Malaysian public funded higher education institutions in an effort to synergise the country’s short-term and long-term development plans. The strategic plan identified ten critical success factors to ensure that Malaysian public funded higher education institutions are prepared to meet the challenges of developing the country’s human capital. Universiti Malaysia, which aspires to world class university, gives priority to governance, human capital development and teaching, learning and internationalisation. A half-term analysis of the Centre for Modern Languages, Human Sciences at Universiti Malaysia reported that internationalisation has been on track through initiation of and direct involvement in overseas visits, international student recruitment interviews for undergraduates and international student admission and supervision for postgraduate study, institutional collaborations, participation in and organization of international conferences. The centre has therefore played a vital and active role in supporting the University’s internationalisation agenda.
