One of the key challenges identified in the internationalization of Malaysian Higher Education is to offer more programmes which are international in nature to benefit local and foreign students. Such an endeavour will attract foreign students to come and immerse themselves in learning the local culture and traditions. For the local students, it would save the government foreign exchange when the experience of learning in an environment deemed as ‘international’ may be obtained locally.
Activities suggested
• Setting up foreign satellite campuses (within public university)
o Double degree programmes
o Twinning programmes
o Joint programmes
• Develop various international programmes to mobilise students
o Short study stints
o Summer camps/ courses
o Student placement/ internship
Monitoring of the activities
• Determine KPIs
• Set targets depending on the status of the university (research, old/new, public/private.
• Create computer based monitoring with the capability to create databases and reports.
