INTERNATIONALISING HIGHER EDUCATION RUSSIA 2010 - 2013

English for Academics

British Council Russia is looking for a publishing house to take part in designing a course “English for Academics”

Global Policy Dialogues

The strand aims to strengthen the HE sector through the sharing and exchange of knowledge to inform st

rategic policy making at Government and Institutional level and to inform debate in Higher Education by means of think tanks, round table discussions, etc.

Global Partnerships

The strand will support the internationalisation of higher education through a new generation partnership model between governments, universities and industry in Russia, the UK and other countries. We are looking to support the formation of cluster partnerships based on research and innovation, collaborative teaching programmes, educational management partnerships, collaborative commercial consultancy etc. The partnerships will be linked to themes which will drive forward regional and global knowledge economy agendas for social and economic gain.  They will be multilateral partnerships that bring together universities, policy makers and business - bridging the gap between the public and private sectors.

Within the Internationalising Higher Education project British Council has carried out a baseline research of English language provision in higher education in Russia which identified the need to raise the level of English of University staff and researchers in order for the Universities to be able to engage in international projects more effectively, to publish in international journals, attend international conferences and offer other subjects in English.
