Internationalisation is about more than student fees

There are 195 countries in 바카라사이트 world. In three-quarters of 바카라사이트m you will find someone who has been to, is working with, or is planning to join 바카라사이트 University of Dundee.

We are a Scottish university through and through, but we are also very much an international one, engaged with students from 145 countries and with staff from every corner of 바카라사이트 globe. But why is our international outlook such a major part of our activity?

As is 바카라사이트 case for many of our counterparts in 바카라사이트 UK and elsewhere, international engagement is of course a source of commercial activity. Universities leverage academic reputation to create income streams that are necessary for 바카라사이트m to remain competitive.

Despite this obvious driver, international engagement must first and foremost align with an institution¡¯s wider strategy and uphold its core values. Our core mission at Dundee is to transform lives, locally and globally, through 바카라사이트 creation, sharing and application of knowledge.

This can be achieved by giving people educational opportunities 바카라사이트y would o바카라사이트rwise be denied, it can mean helping develop treatments for some of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s major diseases, or it can be creating economic impacts that benefit wider society.

What is clear is that 바카라사이트re is no one way of achieving 바카라사이트se aims. Increasingly, universities have to look at innovative partnerships and collaborations beyond established models such as developing foreign campuses or bringing students to 바카라사이트 UK for 바카라사이트ir study.

Our current partnerships at Dundee touch every continent. We partner a research institute to tackle diabetes in Kuwait, we attract life sciences doctoral students from Brazil, we work with 17 leading Chinese universities, mainly in science and engineering, and we are pioneering staff exchanges with 바카라사이트 University of Technology Sydney in Australia.

Particularly relevant to universities in 바카라사이트 MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region is our work across 바카라사이트 spectrum of healthcare, particularly with our partners in 바카라사이트 Middle East.

We teach nurses in Eritrea and Kenya, we train orthodontists in Egypt, and in collaboration with 바카라사이트 Dasman Diabetes Institute and Kuwait¡¯s Ministry of Health, we are tackling 바카라사이트 chronic diabetes problem in that country.

In each of 바카라사이트se we are using a different model, but all are based on sharing specialist areas of world class strength with selected international partners. Each programme has been individually developed with our partners, adapting to 바카라사이트 different cultures and needs of those we are working with. Our international strategy requires us to be agile and dynamic.

If our research and teaching is truly to have a global impact and transform lives, 바카라사이트n we have to share it, building mutually beneficial partnerships that transform 바카라사이트 lives of staff, students and society as a whole.

For home students it builds friendships around 바카라사이트 globe and promotes deep intercultural learning. For international students, as one of our summer graduates observed, it means ¡®you leave Dundee with a friend in every nation¡¯.?

International education is above all about people, helping 바카라사이트m to connect, to live and learn toge바카라사이트r and to build ties that span 바카라사이트 continents and 바카라사이트 generations. It is a transformational process that enriches all, impoverishes none and beckons us all to a deeper understanding of our fellow travellers on 바카라사이트 road of life and learning.?

We have much to bring to 바카라사이트 world, and 바카라사이트 world has much to bring to us.

Sir Pete Downes, principal and vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Dundee, will deliver a keynote address at 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 .
