ABSTRACT
The Fourth Industrial Revolution has brought about major economic, political and social changes. The world around us is moving at a rapid pace, and artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things and robotics are imposing new rules on the labor market. Many job requirements have changed -- employees must have digital competencies to handle workplace responsibilities. Educational institutions also seek to meet the demands of business by changing the curriculum and teaching methods, i.e. gradually progressing towards the concept of Education 4.0. On the other hand, the pressure exerted by the globalization process on universities inevitably leads to the internationalization of education. In this regard, the purpose of this paper is to present the university ranking criteria about their internationalization. The criteria have been developed by the authoring team in the context of Education 4.0 and applied in accordance with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP).
