In Malaysia, the greater the degree of perception of the importance of internationalisation is greater than the perception of the degree of implementation of internationalization.

In China, it is considered that the existence of international colleagues is of paramount importance for developing and improving the quality of human resource.

Africa is in a struggle with the future. It is not known whether it will have the potential to get into the game of internationalization.


Results Internationalization of higher education involves a number of

challenges but unfortunately a number of risks; The challenges of internationalization are, first, the ability to

mobilize adequate financial and human resources to build sustainable public policies conducive to increasing internationalization of the campus;

The most significant risk was related to the possibility of losing by migration an important resource of human capital;

Beneficiary countries which were considered absolute winner of the internationalization process were subjected to acts of international terrorism.


Although the challenges and risks identified, internationalisation is something needed and that should be pursued by all HEI, no matter its location or dimension.


Thank you!
