Globalization and NSU

Globalization, a key reality in the 21st century, has already profoundly influenced higher education. The impact of globalization on higher education offers exciting new opportunities for study and research no longer limited by national boundaries.

UNESCO estimates that by the year 2020, there will be 7 million students studying outside their home countries.

NSU can play a vital role in providing higher education for international students both on-campus, online and at our international location
