Abstract : The internationalization of higher education has emerged as a transformative strategy for institutions seeking to enhance educational quality, foster global competitiveness, and promote cultural diversity. This paper provides a comprehensive review of current literature on internalization, internationalization, examining its motivations, realities, and multifaceted impacts across diverse educational contexts. It explores the evolution of internationalization strategies, encompassing curriculum development, student and faculty mobility, research collaborations, and institutional partnerships. The paper analyzes regional perspectives and global trends, highlighting the dynamic interplay between internationalization and institutional sustainability. By synthesizing empirical research and theoretical insights, it offers a nuanced understanding of how internalization and internationalization reshapes higher education landscapes and prepares institutions to meet the challenges of a globalized world.
