“…This research shows that UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta has begun to develop an internationally standardized curriculum that is based on education outcomes. This finding is relevant toUsoh et al (2018), who state that to be a world-class university, one crucial aspect that should be taken into account is the curriculum. According toBovill et al (2011), a welldesigned curriculum offers educators, learners, administrators, and community members a clear and measurable framework for providing a high-quality education.…”

A world-class university is a primary goal of most universities, including Islamic universities in Indonesia. Research about a strategic policy of universities toward a world-class university (WCU) has been conducted. However, few researchers have explored the strategic policy of Islamic universities to achieve world-class status, particularly in Indonesia. Responding to the gap, this research aims to examine the strategic policy implemented by an Islamic university in Indonesia (i.e., UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta) toward a world-class university. In addition, this research also reveals potential challenges encountered by the university in becoming a world-class university. This research employed a case study design involving selected three informants: (1) the head of quality assurance of UIN Sunan Kaliaga Yogyakarta; (2) an expert in strategic policy of higher education; and (3) an expert of policy and management in higher education. An in-depth interview and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) were conducted with the informants to gather the required data. The findings depicted that UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta has implemented several indicators of a world-class university, such as designing an international curriculum, building partnerships with international universities, and organizing international standardized programs of human resources development. However, the university also encountered several challenges, such as a lack of internationally reputable professors, a lack of international students, and a lack of independence in terms of facility and financial issues. In conclusion, UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta has not been recognized as a world-class university, but it is continuously developing toward a world-class status. This research offers both theoretical and practical contributions to developing Islamic universities in Indonesia toward a world-class university.

“…Many foreign countries followed this path. Foreign studies on universities' internationalization are concentrated mainly on research of internal environment and organizational changes taking place in it [15][16][17][18][19][20]. In a number of lead countries in terms of educational exports strategies for universities' internationalization are adopted at national level (for example, in Finland 2 , Sweden 3 , the Great Britain [21], France [22], Australia 4 , etc.).…”

The RF focuses now on export services development, in particular, in the field of higher education and life long learning. The priority project "Development of export potential of Russian education system" set serious goals for domestic universities to increase the number of foreign students and the income from export activities. Achieving the goals set and ensuring their sustainable development in the long term period is only possible by adapting universities' internal environment to the requirements of internationalization. The goal of the research is to develop specific recommendations to manage internal internationalization of a university, including organizational, structural, and functional transformation. To this end, theoretical approaches and good practices were analyzed, representatives of Russian universities' international offices were interviewed, and a review of universities' internationalization strategies was carried out. It was concluded that internationalization activities of Russian universities are focused primarily on developing external relations, and not on changing their internal environment. Practical recommendations were developed to manage organizational changes at an internationalizing university depending on internationalization stage and degree of immersion into foreign marketing. The presented recommendations may be used by universities that are at the beginning of international activities, in particular, when developing internationalization strategies Keywords-university internationalization; export of education; internationalization strategy; international activities; foreign marketing The research was carried out with the financial support of Russian Foundation for Basic Research within the framework of a scientific project № 18-410-600004 r_a.

“…To achieve this recognition, universities must continue to improve their qualities in various fields such as education or teaching, research, publication, and community service (Rahardjo, 2014). Policy direction, decision-making and strategic planning that focus on World-Class University are aspects that are of concern to universities (Usoh, Ratu, Manongko, Taroreh, & Preston, 2018). Universities are challenged to create graduates who can compete with other well-known institutions domestically and abroad because the global world is full of various competitions that cannot be avoided.…”
