Shaibou Abdoulai Haji, Gracemary Eloheneke Moluayonge

Abstract: This article attempts to throw more light on the internationalisation of higher education in Korea.  Despite the fact that the world is now a global village and people can interact with one another with the help of information and communication technologies, there is still the need for them to move across geographical boundaries in search of knowledge. Korea has put in place several measures to promote internationalisation. These measures are being enforced by several institutions, the universities and companies all under the auspices of the government. Due to the enforcement of these measures the number of international students in Korea is on the rise.  Korea has an advantage in influencing higher education but due to language and cultural barrier, the influence is not being felt. It is rather unfortunate that most Universities in Korea use only 33% using English as the language of instruction. Thus this study attempts to bring forth suggestions to improve and promote internationalisation in Korea.
