Abstract
Internationalisation plays a substantial role in the development of higher education. In order to anticipate all the globalisation challenges, higher education becomes a main source in producing university graduates who not only possess academic and professional capacities but also must be equipped with multilingual competence and intercultural understanding. This paper aims to explore the approaches for Internationalisation for higher education in Eastern Indonesia to improve the education quality. The study describes the level and approaches of internationalisation that can be adapted to prepare the university to fulfil some indicators of world-class University which lead to education quality improvement. This qualitative study used data from interviews, literature and relevant documents to insert the internationalisation elements in university strategic planning, to design Strategic Internationalisation Plan in higher education and to create a model of internationalisation approaches. Internationalisation needs to be implemented in the strategic focus plan of the university. The internationalisation awareness and commitments in higher education should be supported not only from government but also from upper management level and must be conducted in holistic way from all the components in higher education institution. The study provides a model of internationalisation approaches that could be adapted in higher education in Eastern Indonesia.
