    11. UN on Higher Education Education brings a wide range of benefits for both individuals and societies. It is recognized both as a human right and as essential to economic growth and social cohesion. UN International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1966 states that “higher education shall made equally accessible to all, on the basis of capacity, by every appropriate means, and in particular by the progressive introduction of free education”.

    14. The Different Modes of Educational Services Trade According to the GATS Classification Cross-border supply of educational services: the use of new information technologies for distance learning (cable and satellite transmissions, audio and video conferencing, PC software, and CD-Roms, and recently the Internet). Consumption abroad: International flows of students (students traveling abroad to study).

    15. The Different Modes of Educational Services Trade According to the GATS Classification Commercial presence of educational services: commercial establishment of facilities abroad by education providers, e.g. “local branch campuses” or partnerships with domestic education institutions. Presence of natural persons: traveling of professor, researcher, teacher to another country on a temporary basis to provide an educational service.

    16. Globalization and Higher Education With globalization higher education is widely accepted as a service, a commodity, that is not only produced and consumed domestically but also traded internationally. Global higher educational activities involve some movement across borders, concepts such as cross-border, borderless or transnational education. These definitions are often employed interchangeably. 

    17. Impact of Globalization on Higher Education Globalization combines economic and cultural change Globalization and knowledge society creates new demand towards universities Erosion of national regulatory and policy framework Emerging of “borderless” higher education market

    18. Globalization increased the Demand for Higher Education Economic reasons: - Rising payoff to higher education, financial considerations: The transformation of higher education into a business (As a business cross border higher education is a huge industry with a $ 50 B volume) Reputation: - Research and knowledge capacity Socio-political factors: - Demographics - Democaratic ideals

    23. High Growth in the Global number of students International student mobility is not a recent phenomenon and has been traced back to as far as the 4th century B.C. when people moved from one region to another in pursuit of knowledge and wisdom from renowned masters located in so-called centers of learning. Today the student mobility is at high levels. The number of students pursuing higher education grew from 28.6 Million in 1970 to 153 Million in 2007. This translates into an average annual increase of 4.6 %.

    30. Research and Higher Education Research is a key element for Higher Education. Educated personnel and research at higher levels are essential to increasingly knowledge-based development everywhere. Internationalization and international cooperation can serve to improve higher education by increasing efficiency in teaching and learning as well as in research through shared efforts and joint actions.

    31. Internationalization and Globalization of Research Research is one of the key performance measures. - A new definition “research university” arose. - The performance of the institutions are measured by their scientific articles. - The articles written by authors of more than one nationality rose in recent years.

    32. Research Universities Shanghai Jiao Tong University, 2009

    33. Americanization of Global Higher Education The United States higher education dominates the global higher education and constitute 17 of the world?s top 20 research universities in terms of research performance, and 54% of the top 100. The US universities draw and hold talented doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers from everywhere. UK and Australia also play a major role in this area. Globalisation of higher education appear as an American or Anglo-saxon process.

    34. Countries and their share in research universities

    35. Scientific Publication

    36. Rank S&E article output, by country and selected S&E broad field: 1995 and 2005

    37. S&E article output, share of world total, and change rate, by medium S&E article-producing country: 1995 and 2005

    39. Global Language: English Due to the new developments in information and communication technology, internet and world wide web today English has become the global language. Many students from non English-speaking countries want to acquire English and degree from universities providing such programs. A majority of the scientific publication are done in English.

    40. World Languages with more than 1Billion Voices

    41. Europeanisation A new trend is Europeanisation, international cooperation between EU countries in their economic, social and cultural activities. In 1990’s with the awareness of global competition in higher education with Bologna process and Lisbon strategy it is aimed to create the European higher education area by making academic degree standards and quality assurance standards more comparable and compatible throughout Europe. It is also aimed to make the EU "the most dynamic and competitive knowledge-based economy in the world.

    55. Mobility of Programs Institutions establish their own campuses abroad (where local capacity of higher education is inadequate). The programs can be for short term purposes on leased promises or long term degree programs. A local or foreign partner can be used.

    56. Online Distance Learning Distance learning services due to new technologies are growing rapidly. It is designed for the students who are not physically on site.
