Book excerpt: This book explores the interplay between culture and pedagogy within the student experience of international joint double degree programmes. The author posits that international higher education can be seen within a construct of mutuality, with the experience of internationalisation being a driving force for the development of agency and cultural awareness. This direct, lived reality of experiencing cultural difference as part of the educational process presents an opportunity for the internationalisation of the self: international joint double degrees provide an ideal vehicle for the development of knowledge and broadening of the mind. Drawing together cultures of learning, differing approaches to pedagogy and the international classroom, this book argues that international joint double degrees constitute an active cultural engagement within a higher education context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores the agenda of education policies in the 21st century. In the first part of the book, education is handled from a historical and political framework, and the effects of the change of states and policies on education are examined. In the second part, the effects of changes in the economy on education policies and economies’ demands from educational institutions are examined. In the last section, current policies in the international education sector, which is growing day by day as a result of increasing globalization and internationalization, are examined and future trends are tried to be revealed. In articles written by academics from different universities all over the world, the topics are presented in a comparative perspective.

Book excerpt: This book explores the challenges of improving the student experience in higher education through a ‘third space’ perspective. This key text studies a variety of approaches by drawing on higher education policy, interviews with academics working in third space roles in higher education in the UK, France, Germany, Holland, North America and Italy, as well as auto-ethnographic narratives. The chapters consider key topical areas affecting student experience including academic support, assessment and feedback, creative approaches to pedagogy, approaches to supporting international students and students as partners. This work offers further insights into the way in which the ‘third space’ roles are so important to the functioning of higher education institutions and the ways in which the improvement of the student experience is inexorably intertwined with those in such roles. With evaluative and practice-based insights into embedding institutional changes to improve student outcomes, this book bridges the gap between academia and administration and is ideal reading for anyone interested in improving the student experience within their institution.

Book excerpt: International students experience multiple and multi-dimensional educational and life transitions: moving to a new country, moving to a new educational system and moving to higher educational degree programmes. Within these transitions, they experience differences in the social and organisational cultures, languages, and interpersonal expectations, realities and relationships. Their transitions also lead to, and interact with, transitions of professionals, home students and their families. Multi-dimensional Transitions of International Students to Higher Education provides up-to-date literature, research and theoretical constructs that underpin international students’ transitions to Higher Education. This book will help you to understand the opportunities, issues, social-emotional-psychological dimensions and evidence-based interventions that are vital to support an individual through these educational and life transitions. Split into four sections, topics include: Theoretical Underpinning Research in Different Contexts Impact of Educational Practice and Social Systems Interventions and Strategies Used to Enhance International Students’ Affective, Behavioural and Cognitive Transition Experiences This book is essential reading for professionals, students and policy makers and provides significant research insights to academics and researchers in the area of education, psychology and sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As higher education continues to evolve and institutions create innovative and diverse methods of instructional delivery and credentialing, so too does the world around us, including access to information, mobility, and skills necessary to compete in the workforce. Institutional responses to these trends have been to increase international collaborations. Gutierrez, Bhandahari, and Obst (2008) also find collaborative dual and joint degree programs to be a viable area of growth over study abroad programs. Despite interest by administrators to offer collaborative dual and joint degrees, in many institutions, these types of programs remain in the early stages of development (Asgary & Robbert, 2010). As institutions explore international collaborations, it is essential that they understand the landscape, but current literature on this topic is scarce, and much of what is available lacks rigorous theoretical analysis. The purpose of this study is to explore how public research institutions utilize ICDD as a strategic response to an increasingly internationalizing higher education arena. This work was inspired by preceding studies on international collaborative programs (Schoorman, 2000; de Wit, 2002; Godbey & Turlington, 2002; Chan, 2004; Healey, 2008; Kehm & Teichler, 2011; Beck, 2012; Culver, et al, 2012; Davey, 2013; Stone, Hua, & Turlington, 2016). This study is a qualitative multiple-case study of two US Institutions. The findings conclude that a number of key elements are regarded highly by respondents. With regard to process, barriers to change, pathways to degree development, robust and meaningful conversations, and innovation should all be considered. With regard to sustainability, institutional mechanisms of support, an assessment and evaluation plan, and essential resource allocation should all be considered. Lastly, with regard to identity, there needs to be careful attention paid to institutional/unit mission alignment, thoughtful approaches to financial burdens to both the student and the institution, and the perceived value of the program must also be considered. The implications for research include suggestions for future studies to expand the understanding of costs with perceived benefits, to address diversity, to seek a better understanding of resource allocation and their impacts on units, and how to better recruit both inbound and outbound students.

Book excerpt: Universities are among the most dynamic contemporary arenas for intercultural contact, and one of the most interesting phenomena for social interaction studies, both conceptually and empirically. There are around four million people worldwide studying abroad, with numbers growing. These international student sojourns are, first and foremost, social experiences, with social interaction being both a success factor for and outcome of intercultural transition. But what's it like being an 'international' student? How is the experience different from studying 'at home', and what might make it a success, or otherwise? This volume details how recent research has attempted to answer these questions and others related to the transition between different national learning environments, and shows how it is helping to inform debates, policy and practice on the international student experience.

Book excerpt: 21st century higher education faces immense changes—from the broad impact of globalization to the implications of massification and the growth of enrollments worldwide. The International Imperative in Higher Education focuses on most of the central elements affecting universities worldwide. Included among the themes analyzed are global issues such as corruption, the continuing impact of the brain drain and the phenomenon of brain exchange, the role of English in internationalization, changes in the environment for publishing and knowledge distribution, and academic freedom. The specific elements of internationalization, such as growing commercialization, and the role of agents and recruiters as a part of global student flows are considered. The role of the academic profession in a rapidly changing university environment is also discussed. Special attention is paid to China and India, the world’s two largest academic systems, and the specific challenges faced by them. This book consists of 40 concise essays analyzing key aspects of global higher education. They bring together broad analysis and an underlying concern for the public good aspects of higher education in a comparative and international framework.

Book excerpt: In recent years developments in the United States and Europe have created new opportunities for collaboration in higher education. Transatlantic degree programs such as dual diplomas, joint degrees and consortia have gained prominence in this field. Joint and double degree programs have long been a vital part of internationalisation strategies in European higher education, but in the North American context such programs have been less common until recently. This report features practical recommendations and detailed strategies for developing and delivering joint and double degree programs from higher education administrators and practitioners on both sides of the Atlantic.
