A Study on the Policy on Internationalization of Korean Higher Education and Its Implications

The purpose of this study is to suggest policy implications for higher education institutions to play a leading role in implementation of internationalization of higher education by analyzing the present government’s policy implementation at the university level. To achieve the goal, this study examined policies on internationalization of higher education in Korea and figured out the current status of internationalization by conducting surveys which examined internationalization cases of individual universities and the perception of internationalization of staff in charge of international affairs. In addition, examination of the policy and practices of universities from the U.S., Japan and China and cases of domestic higher education institutions as well as interviews with experts in internationalization of higher education were also conducted to derive policy implications.
