Internationalization of Higher Education in Russia: A Case Study of Siberian Transport University

摘要

Recent trends in society towards global engagement resulted in the significant changes in higher education around the world. Academic and research institutions demonstrate a growing interest in the processes of internationalization of higher education, at the international, regional, national, and institutional levels. The issue is especially relevant in the context of Russia's extremely ambitious Priority Project to develop the export of Russian education until 2025. Generally speaking, most Russian scholars see the framework of internationalization as a combination of several components - cultural, educational, economic, and administrative. In parallel with other higher education institutions, Siberian Transport University (STU) takes some urgently needed measures to address the challenges of internationalization. The authors consider the role of interfaculty collaboration aimed at implementing the concept of Content Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in the professional training of university students.
