Emerging Economies Are Exporting Education
By Gabriel Sanchez Zinny. Universities in the United States have long been - and in many ways still are - the most attractive higher education option for students around the world. As recent research from the Brookings Institution demonstrates, the U.S. is a "global hub of higher education."
That is because the U.S. is capable of attracting a full 21 percent of all students studying abroad. According to Brookings, "an estimated 684,807 international students attended tertiary-level education programs in the United States in 2010, versus about 389,958 international students in the United Kingdom, the next-largest destination."

Can Overseas Branch Campuses Reflect Local Values?
By Jason Lane and Kevin Kinser. We have been thinking a lot recently about the impact on local cultures of importing foreign higher education. How are outside providers different from indigenous institutions? How do branch campuses gain legitimacy and become embedded within the host country’s system of education?

Rigid rules deter foreign varsities from entering India
Foreign universities are not eager to enter India, despite having tie-ups with their Indian counterparts, because of the stringent policy regime.

The university as a partner, not a competitor
By James Holloway and Amy Conger. As higher education becomes more global, many universities have been building satellite campuses in China, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and other countries in recent years. These initiatives are impressive, and they might fit the strategic needs of institutions. But the University of Michigan has been resisting the trend for several reasons. Read more...23 mars 2014
International branch campuses get too much attention
By Rahul Choudaha. International branch campuses receive a lot of attention for their motivations, successes and failures. In addition, some recent big-name endeavours like New York University Shanghai and Yale-NUS College in Singapore add to the perception that more institutions are building overseas campuses. In reality, branch campuses form only a small proportion of the internationalisation activities and models of transnational education engaged in by institutions. Read more...17 mars 2014
