What is your opinion on the internationalization of university study?
Hello Zeyad Mohammad
Great question!
Internationalization of universities is the process of integrating an international and intercultural dimensions.
The main components of internationalization of higher education are,
- Recruitment of international students
- Development of international branch campuses
- Students, staff and scholars exchange programs
- Internationalization of the curriculum, and research
- Education partnerships between institutions regionally and internationally
The positive aspects of internationalization include improved academic quality, internationally oriented students and staff, and national and international citizenship for students and staff from underdeveloped countries. For developed countries, revenue generation and brain gain are potential benefits.
The loss of cultural or national identity, homogenization of international curriculum and “brain drain” are threats that are inherent in the internationalization of higher education.
Hope you find this information useful, Zeyad Mohammad

Thank to Nayan Kadam for answering the question by providing useful information.
A very interesting question Zeyad. Internationalisation of concepts, content, programs and 'study as you mention it' has always existed. Developments in ICT increased the number of strategies and the corpus (volume / mass) of that was being transacted in the internationalisation relationships. ICT has also increased the frequency, the joy & the efficacy of internationalisation relationships. It has also increased the dimensions of it by enabling student-facult; student-student; student-students; faculty institution etc type of internationalising.
Nayan nicely exemplified internationalisation I go with him that opinions will vary on whether one is advantaged or disadvantaged by the internationalisation. My opinion is that it cannot be stopped but we still (@ least for now) need to safeguard a few things and internationalise without choking national systems of education
