Internationalising Higher Education

This poster presentation will focus on the role of the Centre for Modern Languages, Human Sciences, at Universiti Malaysia, Pahang, in carrying out the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia's five-year strategic plan for all Malaysian public-funded higher education institutions. The plan aims to converge the country's shortterm and long-term development plans. It identified ten critical success factors to ensure that Malaysian publicfunded higher education institutions are prepared to meet the challenges of developing the country's human capital. Universiti Malaysia, which aspires to be a world-class university, gives priority to governance, human capital development and teaching, learning and internationalisation. A half-term analysis of the Centre for Modern Languages, Human Sciences, at Universiti Malaysia, reported that internationalisation has been on track by the initiation of and direct involvement in a range of activities. The Centre has therefore played a vital and active role in supporting the University's internationalisation agenda.
