Internationalization of higher education has increased the diversity of the student body at higher education institutions. There is evidence that the experiences of international students vary according to their region of origin, but trends on a larger scale remain underexamined. Drawing on Eurostudent VI data from the Republic of Ireland, this…

This paper analyses the representation of international education in the Korean print media, by comparing texts produced by the leading conservative ("Chosun") and progressive ("Hankyoreh") newspapers in 1997 and 2014 (N = 271 articles). We find a major expansion and diversification of media articles on international education,…

The other side of the story, that is, China, as the world's third most popular destination, is considerably less known and researched. This study seizes this research opportunity and focuses on…

This study investigates a major form of internationalization of higher education, international student mobility (ISM) in over 200 countries between 1999 and 2017. Various theoretical explanations of the phenomenon are provided, followed by descriptive explanations of ISM patterns and empirical analysis on push and pull factors. From descriptive…

The need to develop international cross-cultural perspectives has led many educators to create study abroad programs for their learners. One way to support this learning in adult higher education is to offer education abroad programs -- often short-term international field experiences led by faculty for adult students.
