Description
Internationalization is a common objective of LA HEIs. Two of the most common strategies for the internationalization of postgraduate education are:
- International academic association for the development of joint programmes;
- International postgraduate mobility with academic recognition.
Shortage of agreed indicators that allow the characterization and measurement in a comparable way of the principal variables involved in the mentioned two strategies has certainly contributed to hinder their implementation. Particularly important is the lack of a broad consensus on two essential components of postgraduate education that are worldwide recognized:
- Student centered learning (SCL), mainly in relation to three elements that are useful in the operationalization of said SCL: learning outcomes, competences and credits;
- Quality assurance.
