Over the past two decades, international activities of universities have expanded significantly. Academic mobility programmes, joint degrees, international partnerships and global research collaborations have become common.

However, in many universities international activities still develop in a fragmented way. Different initiatives appear across departments but do not form a coherent institutional system.

As a result, universities often face several challenges:
• lack of a clear internationalisation strategy
• weak coordination of international projects
• limited integration of international elements into academic programmes
• dependence on individual partnerships or initiatives.

Today international education requires a systemic approach. Universities need to integrate internationalisation into their institutional strategy.

This means moving from isolated initiatives towards a comprehensive internationalisation model that integrates:
• global positioning
• international academic programmes
• academic mobility
• international student recruitment
• global partnerships.
