Abstract:
In order to achieve the "Double First-Class" initiative, China has been active in pursuing internationalization of higher education. Through interviews with department heads of three world-class universities (one comprehensive university, one humanities and social science characteristic university and one science and engineering characteristic university) in Shanghai. We have found that the three universities are all involved in internationalization of higher education, including teacher-student mobility, institution cooperation, reforming student training models, etc. However, the understanding of internationalization of higher education in each university is different, which also highlights the heterogeneity of internationalization of higher education. University A pursues international cooperation and exchange activities. Through the Confucius Institute, the university sends plenty of teachers abroad. At the same time, the university adopts the model of “who invited who manages” strategy. University B pursuits for internationalized from the perspective of a world-class university. The current student training program is mainly the joint cultivation of doctoral students in University B and the ENS Group. University C encourages outstanding students go abroad while attracting merit students come in, such as cooperating with partner institutions. Also, in order to better communicate internationally, the university has rearranged the term time. This study helps the institutions of higher education adopt themselves with the changes of time and the current needs of society. These conditions change the structures and universities’ manpower. They also promote the quality of higher education and produce active students.
