| Summary: | Higher education has been deeply involved in the process of globalisation and has experienced consequent changes. In order to successfully operate in the globalised higher education landscape, universities worldwide continue to foster a commitment to internationalisation. As internationalisation has become a central concern of universities, more sophisticated information and useful tools are needed to help with mapping and measuring the phenomenon. This article examines how internationalisation is being measured in different universities in Australia and China. Through in-depth interviews with university leaders and head of office, the study presents an analysis of the current practice in 15 selected universities in relation to measuring the degree of internationalisation. The findings of the study shed light on the importance of the assessment of internationalisation as well as the obstacles impeding the development of effective measures for it. |
