Bridging Borders in the Globalisation of Higher Education

Abstract

As higher education institutions worldwide strive to prepare students for a globalised world, internationalisation has become a crucial aspect of their strategies. However, this trend brings unique challenges, particularly in quality assurance and accreditation. This chapter explores the interconnections between internationalisation and quality assurance, highlighting the need for effective strategies to navigate these complexities while upholding quality standards. By examining the dimensions, motivations, and rationales of internationalisation, this study provides insights into best practices and strategies for integrating internationalisation with quality assurance and accreditation mechanisms. Recommendations emphasise the importance of collaboration, cultural competence, and research and evaluation to ensure high-quality education that meets global standards. This study serves as a guide for institutions and stakeholders involved in internationalisation, providing insights to navigate the complexities of internationalisation while maintaining quality standards.
