Essential reading list

Internationalisation 101

New publications on internationalisation of higher education come out every day and, as a busy professional, it might be difficult to keep up with all that is current and interesting. With this in mind, we have put together a list of essential resources that you shouldn't miss out on (in no particular order). This page is not meant to be an exhaustive list of relevant publications but rather a starting point for exploring the fundamentals of the field.
