pin down, but it matters deeply in a highly
competitive global marketplace,”
•
Phil Baty, editor of Times Higher Education Rankings.

6. What do they have in common?
• “Global footprints,”
• “Extensive international research networks
bringing together the very best scholars from
around the world,
• a record of producing ground breaking
research,
• diverse campuses,
• plenty of resources.”

7. Four factors distinguish top international
universities from their competitors.
• The first factor: a high concentration of talented
teachers, researchers and students.
• The second factor: their sizable budgets.
• The third factor: is a combination of freedom,
autonomy and leadership.
• Fourth Factor: Solid base of Educational
Technologies

8. E-Learning
• “If we are to put this set of issues firmly at the heart of our
strategy and pedagogy, then for us and our students, the
future use of online learning fits better into a much more ‘eenabled future’ where high-quality blended learning is the
norm.
• It will, therefore, remain very important for us to develop
such high-quality online material, but our students will
largely use it in the context of their overall campus-based
experience.
• Of course, we will also use such material to demonstrate to
the world, via the internet, what we are about and, above
all, the very high international quality of our educational
provision.” University College of London, President

9. The world-class university of the future
• They will remain campus-based and their research and
education will become more closely integrated, but they
will become more e-enabled, allowing their students to
derive the very best value from their tutorial, practical,
social and extramural experiences on campus
