Summary:As a mean to enhance and improve students' understanding in terms of knowledge gaining and skill development in Higher Education (HE), learning culture enables them to reflect on what they have learnt, contemplate on their ideas and to take advantage of these activities to develop their skills and practices. This chapter will explore the empowerment of learning culture to strengthen the students' identity in HE. The findings reveal that attempts to promote learning culture involve three core stages: classroom management, global mind-set skills and intercultural competence (IC), which may become the basis to enhance their cultural identities while undertaking their studies in HE. Such valuable applications integrated may be incorporated an important stage to develop better performance on building students' identity in HE. This chapter is expected to contribute in offering further understanding in terms of quality critical thinking through fostering ethical, reflective and professional practices as an endeavour to further improve students' competencies.
