Abstract
The internationalisation of higher education integrates international, intercultural, and global dimensions into post-secondary education's purpose, functions, and delivery. This trend has gained prominence due to globalisation, technological advances, and interconnected economies. Institutions pursue internationalisation for enhanced academic quality, global competence, cross-cultural understanding, improved institutional reputation, economic benefits, and advanced research and innovation. Challenges accompany these missions, including maintaining quality assurance, managing cultural differences, overcoming language barriers, financial constraints, ensuring equity and access, and navigating ethical considerations. Internationalisation requires strategic partnerships, comprehensive support services, globalised curricula, diversity initiatives, rigorous quality standards, and ethical integrity. UK and other institutions reveal best practices in building international networks, offering extensive support services, integrating global perspectives, and promoting inclusivity.
