Singapore’s global education hub ambitions: Government and institution strategies and practices

Abstract

The landscape of higher education has been evolving in recent decades, characterised by the increasing number of international students and shifts in their study destinations. While recognising their significance in economic, cultural, and societal contributions, governments and universities worldwide have integrated the internationalisation of higher education into policy agendas. As one of the newly emerging destinations, with the vision of a global education hub, Singapore has set a prime example of successful internationalisation in higher education and provides valuable insights into effective practices for internationalisation. By examining the government’s policy and the National University of Singapore’s strategies and practices, this study seeks to enhance understanding of how to effectively navigate the complexities of internationalisation in this dynamic landscape.
