Internationalization of Higher Education at the Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta

Globalization requires internationalisation. Higher education must embrace the internationalisation agenda by implementing innovative, strategic programmes and approaches. Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) is one of Indonesia's top universities, and it has a long-term plan for internationalisation. Technically, international programmes such as International Program for Islamic Economics and Finance (IPIEF) execute the internationalisation process. In line with internationalisation, IPIEF refers to the department of economics' vision and mission to become a reputable international programme (2015-2020) and research excellence university (2020-2025). IPIEF's programmes indicate serious efforts and commitments based on integrating Islamic and conventional values in its curriculum. Integration aims to show that internationalisation isn't just about pragmatics, but also about values. International instruments are divided into five pillars and buffered by activities within each pillar. IPIEF proposes a masterplan as a raw model with standardised input, process, and output business models, vision, and mission. Internationalization agenda is expected to showcase university agenda as part of international community and promote community impacts.
