Internationalization of higher education constitutes one of the most important fields on which all the countries around the world develop their policies by considering it as a dimension strengthening their higher education systems. Countries compete each other to increase the number of foreign students they have. Beyond the opportunities offered by countries, changes in the policies towards foreigners can directly affect the development of internalization of higher education.
