“…The findings above show Brunei’s active participation in the global transformation of higher education as well as its flagship university UBD’s impressive internationalisation and outbound student mobility programmes. The findings also further confirm what has been reported in the existing modest amount of literature (Hamdan et al, 2020; Tan and Shahrill, 2015; Tan et al, 2016, 2017; Tibok and Hiew, 2019) which mostly focuses on Brunei’s and UBD’s strategic internationalisation efforts as largely informed by government and institutional policy and practice, and by statistics gathered over the years. Let us now present more qualitative analysis, where this paper will make its major contribution through a dialogue with Brandenburg et al’s (2020) IHES Matrix and the work of others such as Jon and Fry (2021) and Ramaswamy et al (2021).…”

This article is concerned with the internationalisation of higher education and student mobility for society and community engagement purposes. Drawing on the specific case study of Universiti Brunei Darussalam’s Community Outreach Programme overseas, it examines the programme’s operation in Vietnam as well as investigates Bruneian students’ experiences during their programme activities in this Asian country. The article also explores the impacts of such experiences on the students’ growth and transformations. The reported growth and transformations, on the one hand, demonstrate the importance of social engagement beyond campus and correspond to the internationalisation in higher education for society agenda recently advocated by international education scholars and practitioners. They also offer rich insights into (inter-Asian) student mobility for non-academic purposes, which remain largely under-researched. On the other hand, underlying the students’ transformative experiences are many issues associated with student safety and wellbeing that require ethical responses and appropriate adaptive pedagogies.
