Internationalization for ASEAN University: Case Study of CMU-ULL

Abstract

Today internationalization for universities means “Mobility”. In ASEAN Community, mobility of students is a requirement for 30 leading universities in ASEAN University Network. This prepares new generation of university graduates for skilled labor mobility in ASEAN. The mobility aims at enrichment by home university rather than academic contents which is now available publicly on Internet. AUN members are working as equal partners to developsome educational practices for internationalization among ASEAN countries. These practices can be generalized for mobility of ASEAN students to Europe, America and other regions in the future. Lessons Learned from European Community in credit transfer system, quality assurance system and common framework are essential for ASEAN universities to faster develope their suitable own systems. Erasmus Mundus projects help many universities in ASEAN region to mobilize their students to Europe in the past 10 years.Chiang Mai University with Lyon2 University has experienced in European Credit Tranfer System, Quality Management System, Common European Framework and Cooperative Education. The integrated international academic and research affairs framework is proposed for cost effective and sustainable development.
