In the context of a long period of underfunded highereducation in Australia, the latest federal budget will do nothing to address theproblem. While the worst elements of former proposals were averted, the shifting ofmore of the burden of repaying student loans on to students, as well as failing tofund the full costs of research, and, in addition, imposing further “‘efficiencydividends”’ on higher education institutions, will only add to institutionalpressures to diversify income, increasing international student fees.

The prevailing picture of intercultural adaptation among international student sojourners features a reified process of overcoming culture shock or culture-related stress and anxiety. In the context of increasing recruitment of Chinese students by German higher education institutions, there has been a growing interest in understanding Chinese students' intercultural adaptation experiences, and in exploring approaches that can be adopted by Chinese and German higher education to support these sojourners' learning experience. Drawing on a six-month mixed-methods study of 84 Chinese students attending German universities, researchers explored their intercultural experience regarding psychological, sociocultural, and educational aspects to university life. The challenges faced by these students are discussed in terms of psychological, sociocultural, and educational adaptations.

<p>This research provides recommendations for the development of an initiative of the President of the Republic of Indonesia (Presiden Republik Indonesia), Joko Widodo (Jokowi), namely the implementation of a competition to cut Indonesian regulations, and relates these recommendations to the role of higher education institutions in Indonesia. The concept of “cutting” regulations should be developed into “managing.” The competition should also widen the scope of what should be managed. Rather than being limited only to “regulations,” the scope should include “laws and regulations as well as other relevant law and policy products.” Furthermore, the competition could be a trigger for developing other related collaborations. The collaboration between relevant parties in the competition and other future collaborations can be classified as a form of mutual cooperation (<em>gotong royong</em>) which could contribute to the development of the quality of Indonesian law in general and specifically to the quality of laws and regulations and other relevant law and policy products in the context of Indonesia. This mutual cooperation could also bring direct benefits to the Central Government of the Republic of Indonesia (Pemerintah Pusat Republik Indonesia) and other relevant state-related institutions as well as to higher education institutions in Indonesia that are expected to be involved in the competition and in other future collaborations.</p><p> </p>


Dynamics in the higher education, internalisation and global economic turmoil drastically influences the research outcomes with implications to the global ranking of higher education institutions (HEIs) and the universities. National education policies and the ranking of higher education institutions (HEIs) are entwined and mutually influence each other. In recent times, the global ranking by various organisations like QS, THE, and government agencies become proxy to conclude the excellence of a university. National Global, regional and national socio-economic-political concerns are influencing the functioning of universities with respect to international student recruitments. International student admissions also greatly contribute to the funds for the university and economy of the nations, simultaneously. This research paper is an investigative study of value creation in the university education systems and the impact of ranking and higher education policies. In this paper, authors have highlighted a couple of key points. First of all, the universities have to acclimatize as per the global rankings standards and reinforce to become value creation centers, with more responsible towards the demands of society. The authors have highlighted about the convolution and challenges universities are facing and measures to deal with. The conscientious approach to the facades of new knowledge areas in the new global socio-economic milieu gives a tangible and relevance to the execution of responsible research and innovation with value co-creation in university systems.
