Abstract

The internationalization of higher education is of growing significance worldwide with social, economic, political, and cultural challenge in an increasingly global knowledge-based world. The United Kingdom has a long traditional history and worldwide reputation in the international higher education as one of the top destinations for international mobility. Since 2012, the total number of international students is increasing rapidly in the UK higher education. In this chapter, soft power conversion model of higher education is utilized to examine the globalization and internationalization of higher education in contemporary United Kingdom. Moreover, in the international soft power domain, both the academic autonomy and independency within the Bologna Process are intercorrelated for shaping the internal soft power; and the external regimes.
