Abstract

This article focuses on international academic mobility in the context of internationalization of higher education. China is currently gaining popularity as a new active participant in this process. China’s success stems from rapidly developing academic mobility. This paper discusses the prerequisites necessary for the development of academic mobility in China’s higher education; defines current trends for its development in Chinese universities, characterizes the conditions for its implementation in engineering oriented universities and the perspectives of their use for other countries. It also presents mechanisms of developing intercultural competence as an indispensable condition for fostering academic mobility.
