Nations worldwide have been challenged, positively and negatively, by globalisation and its effects. The educational sphere has been likewise impacted. Initially, governments turned to higher educational institutions to ensure that future generations were being prepared for the reality within the 21st century. To counteract globalisation trends, the educational sphere was forced to review its aims and functions. Knight (2003) ascertains that through internationalisation, globalisation is addressed, and this is evident at the national, sector, and institution levels through “the process of integrating an international, intercultural, or global dimension into the purpose, functions or delivery of post-secondary education” (2).
