| description | This study explores internationalization strategies in Azerbaijani higher education institutions (HEIs) with a particular focus on the recruitment and retention of international students. Despite the global trend toward increased international student mobility, Azerbaijan has struggled to compete with neighboring countries, such as Turkey, in attracting international students. This research identifies the gaps in current internationalization efforts and proposes strategies to address challenges related to marketing, institutional infrastructure, and student support services. Through qualitative analysis, the study outlines recommendations for improving the international appeal of Azerbaijani universities, thus enhancing their global reputation and economic sustainability. Whether public or private, regardless of focus, from humanitarian studies to engineering, most of the universities don’t have the International Student Offices or the activities of these offices are not enough in comparison with developed countries of Europe. Country Higher Education Strategy issues related to international students are one of the main priorities. In this regard Increasing the Effectiveness of Internationalization in the context of International Students admission and Proper Marketing strategy will help to establish the necessary infrastructure for pleasant and successful education life for international students. In order to reach that goal, the Office has to provide all useful and necessary information to all international students from registration to graduation, guidance to all administrative procedures and organize social and cultural activities for easy orientation. |
