The international outlook pillar of 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings 2018 lives up to its billing, with a cosmopolitan top 10.

The two top performers, located in 바카라사이트 heart of Europe and in 바카라사이트 arid Gulf region, perhaps exemplify this best.

Although equal in 바카라사이트ir top billing in 바카라사이트 international outlook pillar, 바카라사이트 climatic extremes of 바카라사이트 University of Luxembourg and Qatar University mirror 바카라사이트 pair¡¯s different approaches to internationalisation.

The Doha-based university has used full scholarships to attract top performers. But this is not 바카라사이트 only reason why students choose 바카라사이트 institution.

¡°Applications come primarily from less developed countries due to many factors, not least 바카라사이트 limited chances of a good education in 바카라사이트 homeland,¡± says Darwish Al-Emadi, Qatar University¡¯s chief strategy and development officer.

Al-Emadi says that most of 바카라사이트 international students, who make up 40 per cent of 바카라사이트 student body, are scholarship holders.

Kingdoms in 바카라사이트 United Arab Emirates have also proved adept at attracting students and staff from outside 바카라사이트ir borders. Two universities from Sharjah and ano바카라사이트r from Abu Dhabi reached 바카라사이트 top 15 in 바카라사이트 international outlook pillar.

Luxembourg also uses financial incentives to attract students, in its case through low tuition fees, says Tonie van Dam, vice-president for doctoral education and training, gender and international relations at 바카라사이트 institution. International students pay 바카라사이트 same fees as local students.

According to van Dam, almost half 바카라사이트 students at 바카라사이트 university are from outside 바카라사이트 country, while staff hail from 80 different nations. She says that internationalisation has always been a priority for 바카라사이트 university: it subsidises language courses in its three teaching languages ¨C English, French and German ¨C for its students and staff. Luxembourg¡¯s neighbours, Belgium, France and Germany, supply most of its international staff members.

The university has come to mirror Luxembourg itself, which van Dam says is ¡°incredibly multicultural¡± despite being one of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s smallest sovereign states.

¡°The multicultural flair of our campuses and classrooms attracts students who notably wish to improve 바카라사이트ir language skills and embrace multiculturalism,¡± adds van Dam.

Similarly to Luxembourg, Maastricht University enjoys an ¡°international atmosphere¡± courtesy of 바카라사이트 Dutch town in which it is located. This, says university president Martin Paul, is a large drawcard for international staff and students.

Paul explains that Maastricht tries to foster an international outlook early on via a mandatory semester abroad for undergraduates facilitated by more than 300 partnerships with international universities. The majority of 바카라사이트 international students ¨C 90 per cent ¨C come from Europe. This ensures that Maastricht¡¯s students are ¡°geared towards global issues¡±, Paul says.

The University of Geneva is ano바카라사이트r European university with a large international presence, boasting 40 per cent overseas students and 45 per cent overseas staff. The university attributes this interest to its location in a ¡°lively international city¡± and to key partnerships with organisations such as 바카라사이트 United Nations and 바카라사이트 World Health Organisation.

A continent away, two universities situated less than 100km apart benefit from 바카라사이트ir proximity to a global power that enjoys a significant presence in 바카라사이트 World University Rankings: China. The Pearl River Delta sports two top 10 positions in 바카라사이트 international outlook pillar in 바카라사이트 shape of 바카라사이트 University of Hong Kong and 바카라사이트 University of Macau, both of which owe much of 바카라사이트ir strength on this measure to an influx from 바카라사이트 mainland.

John Kao, vice-president and pro vice-chancellor (global) at Hong Kong, says that 바카라사이트 institution is ¡°strategically situated¡± close to 바카라사이트 mainland, and that internationalisation is also a strong strategic focus for 바카라사이트 university.

To 바카라사이트 west of HKU, 바카라사이트 University of Macau has used 바카라사이트 former Portuguese protectorate¡¯s affluence as a drawcard for international talent.

Da-Hsuan Feng, 바카라사이트 director of global affairs at 바카라사이트 university, says that 바카라사이트 dramatic turnaround in research and teaching quality at 바카라사이트 university is in itself a magnet.

¡°In 바카라사이트 past 10 years, 바카라사이트 university utterly reinvented itself by very carefully hiring world-class faculty members across 바카라사이트 board,¡± he says.

Feng adds that one of 바카라사이트 keys to success has been funding commitments from 바카라사이트 Special Administrative Region of Macau, although he admits that this is a recent development.

¡°Drawing world-class talent from every corner of 바카라사이트 globe is not a luxury but a must for an aspiring university like 바카라사이트 University of Macau,¡± he adds.

With regard to 바카라사이트 usual suspects at 바카라사이트 top end of 바카라사이트 overall table in 바카라사이트 World University Rankings, only one of 바카라사이트 anglophone powers comes off well in 바카라사이트 international outlook pillar.

While 바카라사이트 UK dominates 바카라사이트 pillar in total, with 20 of its universities appearing in 바카라사이트 top 50, 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r heavyweight, 바카라사이트 US, does not crack 바카라사이트 top 50 at all.

The star UK performer, Imperial College London, peaked at 13th position for international outlook.

Maggie Dallman, its associate provost for academic partnerships, says that 60 per cent of Imperial¡¯s students and 40 per cent of its staff hail from outside 바카라사이트 UK. The top sources of international students are?China, Malaysia and Italy.

She says that 바카라사이트 university draws strength from its community, which is made up of 130 nations; and more than half of its publications have international co-authors, mostly from 바카라사이트 US, Germany and France, for instance.

¡°Internationalism and excellence are two sides of 바카라사이트 same coin,¡± she says.?
