\u25a0 Abstract
\nThe impact of Covid-19 Pandemic towards university education is enormous and still ongoing. Especially, the internationalization of higher education is facing fundamental challenges under the suspension of physical student mobility. Instead, the digitalization of university education is accelerated, and many interactions and co-learning beyond the national border and geographical distance are rapidly expanding. The contexts of international university education are highly diverse in respective higher education systems. In the UK and anglophone countries, the degree of damage from the pandemic and geopolitics as well as the financial affordability of the international students are becoming crucial factors for international student marketing. Also, various types of transnational education services including MOOCs are becoming active and an inseparable component of the mainstream university education. In Europe, the international student mobility is still maintained even under the pandemic, while the physical mobility is becoming less important. At the same time, the digitalization and the still serious challenges of the pandemic is certainly accelerating the transformation of the university internationalization. In Japan and East Asia, the impact of Covid-19 infection is relatively smaller compared with North America and Europe. Having said so, the international student mobility is still strictly controlled. Also, the rapidly ongoing digitalization of the society is posing a fundamental question if we could continue to attract international students through our current university education deeply embedded in the Japanese society, culture and language. In Japan, the online-based international learnings are mostly pursued non-commercial based, while the outsourcing of, for example, the language education toward the overseas providers through online is widely spreading.<\/p>\n
In this seminar, we will discuss the following questions from the perspectives of Japan, Europe and Anglophone systems.
\n– What transformation the Covid+19 epidemic and countermeasures bringing about to the internationalization of university education?
\n– What data and evidence are available or relevant for archiving and analyzing the current situation and future prospects?<\/p>\n
