In today’s scenario, the higher education is much internationalised. Marketisation-focused public policies have significantly transformed higher education systems worldwide. However, the impact of such policies on the quality of the higher education system is still unknown. There are questions about the real quality of higher education and about the effects of the markets on the improvement of the system quality. Today’s demand for the skills and the competitiveness in a globalised economy made higher education a very competitive sector. However, this sector has been facing challenges like quality of education, funding, research and development, etc. Higher education institutions have developed competencies in certain areas based on their resources like assured quality education, financial aid for students, and the ability to gear teaching and research to local culture and needs. This case book explores with examples of popular universities, globalised education. It also speaks about the challenges they  are facing.

The book,Case Studies on Higher Education Vol.I will be of special interest for researchers concerned with higher education in general and with international/comparative aspects in particular, as well as managers in higher education, in academic institutions.
