A view from the US: international students In 2012-2013, the
number of international students in the US increased 7.2% to a
record high of 819,644 The top senders of international students
are China, India, and South Korea. International students comprise
about 3% of undergrads and 15% of grads CA, NY, and TX are the top
hosting states
Slide 10
A view from the US: study abroad In 2012-2013, the number of
students studying abroad reached 283,332 and increase of 3.4% The
top destinations are UK, Italy, Spain, France, and China. Top
fields are social sciences, business, and humanities 58% go for
eight weeks or less
Slide 11
Programme and institution mobility
Slide 12
International mobility of programs and institutions Educational
programme and institution mobility is still limited in scale but
grows rapidly, especially in the Asia-Pacific region About 300,000
students enrolled in UK and Australian foreign programmes 30% of
all international students enrolled in Australian institutions
studied from their country in 2007 (against 24% in 1996 and 37% in
2001); all Australian universities engaged in cross-border
operations Singapore: more undergraduate students accessed a
foreign programme from Singapore than studied abroad in 2000 China:
9-fold increase in foreign programmes between 1995 and 2004: 831
joint schools (126) and programmes (705)

A variety of models
Slide 17
A variety of arrangements and objectives Multiplication of
commercial arrangements in Asia but non- commercial academic
partnerships remain the norm in Europe Public (or private
not-for-profit) institutions have been the main drivers of
commercial programme and institution mobility A multiplicity of
business models Partnerships: franchise, twinning arrangement
Branch campuses, multi-campus institutions Buying foreign
institutions Invited or not by country
Slide 18
Drivers, rationales, strategies
Slide 19
Rationales and drivers of cross- border higher education
Decrease in travel and communication costs Globalisation, migration
and labour market opportunities More demand from students and their
families (and unmet demand in some emerging countries) Policies at
country and/or regional level Source of funding for educational
institutions and economic strategy for some countries Institutional
strategies for prestige
Slide 20
Some challenges Quality and recognition, hence the Guidelines
But also: Equity of access and financing Brain drain Decrease of
aid to developing countries Culture and language Reaping the
benefits

the country can actually benefit by learning to tap and build on

Who is Collaborating with Whom?
Slide 30
What about the developing world? Most of Africas collaboration
is with the G20 countries, but South-South collaboration is a
growing trend, the the US could amplify. Egypt and Sudan important

The myths IBCs focus only on teaching They are hollow shells
All IBCS are subsidized by governments IBCs are revenue producing
entities IBCS move North to South Extreme form of privatization
IBCs are part of a bubble

offer co-curricular experiences They rarely prove to be profitable
in the short term Not all are govt subsidized IBCs move in all

Issues to Consider Institutionally Driven (vs. faculty driven)
Quality Assurance (internal and external) Role in the foreign
country? Access, Research, Community Engagement? Balancing
Standardization vs. Diversification A shift in the definition of
students (what does international mean?) Culture clashes (e.g.
academic freedom, religion, etc.)
