Internationalization of Higher Education and Its Market–Taking International College as an Example

Abstract

This paper is intended for looking into the inevitability of the internationalization of higher education with the prime causes of it resting in the facts that given such large-size Chinese population, the resources allocated to higher education in China remain insufficient to meet the demand for higher education and that universities in the UK, USA, Australia, and Canada enjoy comparatively "sufficient" or surplus resources on one hand, and on the other many of them have sustained a cut in the revenue from the government of ten percent in real terms in the past five years, and they will face a further ten percent cut by the end of the decade. Also lassoed in the focus in the paper are the subsequent reciprocity arising from the internationalization of higher education and the various forms of collaboration between the International College, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and its partners overseas.
