NSTeducation: Universiti Malaya (UM) deputy vice-chancellor (Academic and International) Professor Dr Kamila Ghazali, internationalisation has transformed the Malaysian higher education system in many dimension.
This is in line with “global prominence”, a major shift in the Malaysia Education Blueprint for Higher Education 2015 to 2025 that aims to enhance the end-to-end international student experience, increase brand visibility, and strengthen existing and new markets for international students.
“For example, a UM researcher is working on the Malacca Portuguese community’s language documentation and revitalisation efforts, in collaboration with a UK university.” “The future for all respectable universities is to strengthen their international dimension. Without this, they will lose the ability to provide quality education for a globalised world,” said Driscoll.Leading global universities are highly international in nature, said Sunway University Malaysia vice-chancellor Professor Graeme Wilkinson.
“In transforming a life, we help transform a country. IIUM aims to service students from all walks of life and different parts of the world, especially from conflict zones like Palestine and developing countries in Asia and Africa,” she said. The four metrics assessed were proportion of international staff, students, research co-authorship and reputation.
“We have 1,556 international undergraduate students on campus. Meanwhile, at the postgraduate level, there are 3,733 international students, making up 36 per cent of the student population. They will normally bring their families here as well.”“UPM is the first Malaysian university and sixth in Southeast Asia to receive the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business Accreditation .
“Ranked in the global top 20 for Culinary and Hospitality Management, we have had a very productive partnership with Toulouse University, France, in this field for over 20 years.” “Having excellent academics enables us to deliver top quality education to our students and carry out leading research. Around 15 per cent of our academics are international. At the more senior level, around 50 per cent are from overseas.”“The presence of international students helps our domestic students become more aware of different cultures and understand the world better, thus becoming better global citizens.
“Our academic staff have co-authored research papers with international academics. Topics included vaccine development with Oxford University researchers, and improving solar energy systems with researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.” “Since 2014, we have produced over 15,000 co-authored articles from our international collaborations.
