TY - JOUR AU - and Florence Nakamanya, Ronald Bisaso PY - 2020/11/11 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Strategic Profiles of the International Dimension in Universities in Uganda JF - International Journal of African Higher Education JA - IJAHE VL - 7 IS - 2 SE - Articles DO - 10.6017/ijahe.v7i2.12897 UR - https://ejournals.bc.edu/index.php/ijahe/article/view/12897 SP - AB - <p>This article is based on a study that explored the nature of and variations<br>in strategic profiles of internationalisation in universities in Uganda. Six<br>universities, comprising of three public and three private chartered universities<br>with different histories and philosophies were selected for the<br>study. Profiles of the international dimension were ascertained through a<br>review and analysis of national and institutional strategic plans and reports.<br>The findings highlight six profiles of internationalisation, namely, vision<br>and mission, shared/core value, student enrolment, staff and student<br>exchange, partnerships and collaborations, and the management structure.<br>It is imperative that universities integrate internationalisation as an ethos<br>that is systematically mainstreamed in all activities, produce knowledge<br>relevant to local and international audiences, and improve the management<br>structure by deploying managerial capacity that corresponds to the<br>strategic period. The article recommends that further research should be<br>conducted on profiles of the international dimension.</p> ER -
