description |
No one can deny that the world is more interdependent, interlinked and integrated with the
development of information technology. This in turn has facilitated the flow of knowledge,
information and people as never before. Higher education is expected to contribute and become far
more internationalised to integrate intercultural elements in its teaching, research and services. This
paper summarises the initiatives taken by Open University Malaysia (OUM) to market its
programmes at the international level. In the initial phase, the university is targeting its neighbouring
country, Indonesia as well as countries in the Middle East, particularly Yemen, Syria and Saudi
Arabia.
The first programmeme to be offered will be at the Masters level in Universitas Riau (UNRI),
Pekanbaru, Indonesia, and in the University of Science and Technology, Yemen (USTY), followed by
the undergraduate programmes at Universitas Padjadjaran (UNPAD), Bandung, Indonesia. In the near
future, the scope will be widened to include both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the
universities concerned. This paper outlines the issues, challenges and the strategic plans to develop
and ensure the success of OUM’s Internationalisation agenda, an agenda which is aligned to the
Malaysian Government’s policy of developing Malaysia as a Centre of Excellence in education and
training. (Abstract by author) |
