Studying on Distant Shores

The term international education can have diverse connotations and therefore its definition is subject to a strong debate at times. For some, the term refers to the scope of education beyond geographical borders and therefore includes within its purview student exchange programs and the opportunity to study abroad. For others, it can be defined as a comprehensive approach that prepares the students in a way that they can become active participants in an interconnected environment.

It is through such a broad understanding of diverse phenomena that one can be equipped to have comprehensive perception of fields as varied as history, geography, political relations, governments, cultures and languages. Therefore, taking all these factors into account, international education can be considered to include:

  • A concern and respect towards varied cultures and people from diverse backgrounds
  • Knowledge of different cultures and world religions
  • Familiarity in different languages and knowledge of global issues
  • The ability to work across cross-cultural environments by using information from varied sources
  • Good communication skills
