How Higher Education Institutions should internationalize
The raison d’être of a metanational higher education institution is to generate knowledge in multiple locations with the objective of blending that knowledge to create new insights, and to instill a global learning mindset in its graduates. In this report for
INSEAD Knowledge, Gabriel Hawawini ascribes the success of a multi-campus higher education institution on having an internationally recognised brand; seamless transfer of knowledge between campuses; local and foreign students meeting the same admissions standards; frequent travel of faculty and administrative staff across the campuses; and graduates who are able to find local and regional jobs that allow them to put into practice what they have learned. A truly global institution should have at least three main campuses of roughly equal size, each in a major region of the world - Europe, Asia and the Americas – with no campus perceived as inferior to the others.
