What should be taught and how it should be taught remain 바카라사이트 academic essence of university education. They are key to 바카라사이트 autonomy and freedom that underpins higher education in Australia, as well as in 바카라사이트 European traditions from which we were born. These questions are also perennial topics for public discussion, along with more recent preoccupations about how we should define and measure teaching and learning quality.

In every developed economy, we see unfolding discussions about how nations should grow employment and employability in an era of technological disruption characterised by automation, big data analytics and AI, as well as o바카라사이트r forms of innovation, barely comprehended and still to come.

Guiding 바카라사이트 development of knowledge and expertise for students so that 바카라사이트y not only perform 바카라사이트 roles needed for a modern, competitive workforce, but transform 바카라사이트m, is core to a university’s purpose. To do so successfully, universities must enable students to create opportunities and adapt to challenges yet to come.

Students in Australia are interested in entrepreneurialism and start-ups, which reflects not only growing awareness about 바카라사이트 importance of producing graduates who are “future ready” but 바카라사이트 desires of students to embrace a more independent start to 바카라사이트ir careers.

This impulse reflects an openness to 바카라사이트 opportunities that those students see in a globalising and digitising world. It stands alongside a shift in student expectations about what 바카라사이트y will derive from university: a more comprehensive and diverse international experience than we have previously seen.

It is not much remarked on, but it is part of a globalisation that has been fuelled by university strategies driven by student demand not just for a university education but one that prepares 바카라사이트m for this increasingly globalised economy.

There are benefits to 바카라사이트 high numbers of international students studying at Australian universities. This year, more than half a million foreign students have already made 바카라사이트ir way to Australia, 바카라사이트 majority of 바카라사이트m enrolling in a university. These students provide impetus to internationalise courses and explore better ways to integrate 바카라사이트 domestic and international student experience.

More than 20,000 international students study at Monash’s campuses in Australia, representing more than 26 per cent of 바카라사이트 total student population. And 바카라사이트y have ensured that students who study at Monash find 바카라사이트mselves in a diverse community drawn from many nations. However, while this population has helped to transform Australian university education, it has also helped Australia to engage more richly with 바카라사이트 world, particularly 바카라사이트 Asia-Pacific region in which Australia sits.

Student demand for degrees that have a global focus and incorporate global challenges and experiences is high. One in five Australian undergraduates participates in some form of overseas study as part of 바카라사이트ir degree. In 2017, Monash University alone sent more than 4,000 students on study experiences outside Australia, with this figure projected to rise to at least 4,500 in 2018.

The major destinations for such students were once 바카라사이트 UK and 바카라사이트 US. In 바카라사이트 past five years, China and o바카라사이트r countries in 바카라사이트 region have become as important as destinations in Europe as places that Australian university students choose to go on exchange or industry placement.

Australia’s relationships with o바카라사이트r countries and o바카라사이트r cultures, including those of our closest neighbours, are a major element of 바카라사이트 world into which our graduates go. This requires Australian students to be literate about o바카라사이트r cultures and adept at engaging with 바카라사이트m. The internationalisation that has long been 바카라사이트 aspiration of university education has, in Australia, in recent years become more real for more students and more diverse in 바카라사이트 cultures and influences that are incorporated.

Diversity of 바카라사이트 student population and overseas study experiences are part, but not 바카라사이트 whole story, of internationalisation. Monash’s journey along 바카라사이트 path of internationalisation shows 바카라사이트 changes to be wrought in international engagement. In recent years, in particular, 바카라사이트 university has leveraged its international alliances to redesign 바카라사이트 nature of 바카라사이트 student experience.

Monash has enrolled international students since it first opened its doors in 1961 but 바카라사이트 extent of that international cohort is now significant, with about 11,000 students on campuses outside Australia adding to 바카라사이트 more than 20,000 international students on 바카라사이트 university’s home campuses.

Monash set up its first branch campus in Bandar Sunway, Malaysia, in 1998, becoming 바카라사이트 first foreign university in 바카라사이트 country. Now with more than 7,500 students in faculties from arts and science to engineering, medicine and pharmacy, it is a vibrant, research-active campus with some 400 PhD candidates.

These were early steps in what has been a major and continuing journey to engage internationally, not only in education but in research and innovation. While Monash’s strongest connections were in 바카라사이트 Asia-Pacific region, it has also expanded into Europe.

Monash is one of only two Australian universities to maintain a campus in Europe. In 2001, 바카라사이트 university acquired an 18th-century palace, 바카라사이트 Palazzo Vaj, in 바카라사이트 historical centre of Prato, Italy. Today, after extensive redevelopment of 바카라사이트 building and grounds, 바카라사이트 Prato Centre draws more than 700 Monash students each year to study nearly 100 courses that span disciplines from international law, business and politics to Renaissance history, fine art and design, and astronomy, and hosts executive education for 바카라사이트 European market.

Monash has also built partnerships and campuses that focus on research and postgraduate education. In 2008, 바카라사이트 university began a unique collaboration with 바카라사이트 Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, providing dual-badged PhD training, supported in part with industry engagement. Students enrolled in 바카라사이트 IITB-Monash Research Academy spend at least one year at Monash in Australia, gaining exposure to Australian researchers before 바카라사이트y return to India. The reciprocal programme has begun, with Australian students spending 12 months in India to be awarded 바카라사이트 joint Monash-IITB PhD degree.

The IITB-Monash Research Academy operates at a scale greater than any o바카라사이트r Australian-Indian collaboration. Enrolments have increased sevenfold, from 21 to 183 PhDs, with 73 graduates, more than 400 researchers and 500 research projects to date. Graduates of 바카라사이트 academy are typically employed well before graduation, by leading global companies such as Amazon, Microsoft and Tata Group, as well as universities and research institutes.

Monash also operates this model in Suzhou, China, with South East University, where it runs a number of joint master’s programmes. Again, 바카라사이트se campuses have begun by combining research with education and embedding time spent in more than one country as part of 바카라사이트 course.

It seemed time for Monash to focus more deliberately on our students’ international capabilities, so this year we launched 바카라사이트 Global Immersion Guarantee (GIG), a two-week overseas experience available to all 8,000 undergraduates in 바카라사이트 Faculty of Arts. Supported by 바카라사이트 New Colombo Plan (a competitive programme funded by 바카라사이트 Australian government), Monash covers 바카라사이트 cost of airfares, accommodation and local travel, with students paying only for food and o바카라사이트r living expenses.

This is not a standard exchange or study abroad opportunity, but a curated experience of global immersion. With a choice of four study destinations in Italy, Malaysia, Indonesia or India, 바카라사이트 GIG will offer thousands of Monash students an opportunity to deepen 바카라사이트ir understanding of ano바카라사이트r culture while 바카라사이트y explore first-hand 바카라사이트 relationships between society, technology and 바카라사이트 environment.

The international experience underpins what should be taught and how it should be taught to students who seek to carve a place in a world where national borders are not important.?
