Centre for Higher Education Internationalisation – CHEI

About CHEI

The purpose of the Centre

The Centre for Higher Education Internationalisation at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC) promotes and conducts research, training, and policy analysis to strengthen the international dimensions of higher education.

The themes it will cover

• Emerging trends: policies, strategies, mobility, recruitment, internationalisation of
  the curriculum.
• Existing and emerging rationales: economic drivers, political factors, social/cultural
  motives, education rationales.
• International education and institutional development: university internationalisation strategy development; the impact of mainstreaming and comprehensiveness of internationalisation; using research to develop the university’s policy of international education, incorporating at home and abroad dimensions into the institu-tional strategy; and using trends and data to shape institutional strategy.
• Impacts and outcomes of internationalisation: quality assurance and assessment
  of outcomes and impacts on institutions, programmes and stakeholders.

These themes will be addressed from several perspectives: global, regional, Italy, and UCSC.
