Abstract

Since the 1990s, economic globalisation has led to tremendous changes in higher education in East and Southeast Asia. This resulted in the implementation of new policies and strategies in higher education and an increasing emphasis on the international mobility of students and faculty members, as well as on mobility of educational programs and campuses in this region. This chapter focuses on the international mobility of students, faculty members, educational programs, and higher education campuses in selected countries in Asia. The chapter first introduces the changing policies of internationalisation of higher education in Asia in recent years. It then presents a general portrait of the international mobility of students and faculty members, cross-border educational programs and campuses at tertiary education in Asia. The chapter concludes by outlining characteristics of the international mobility of students, faculty members, educational programs and campuses and identifies challenges facing Asia.
