The internationalisation of South Manila Educational Consortium (SMEC) began in 2016. SMEC expands the international engagement portfolios of member institutions by building their capacity in internationalisation and linking them with their UK counterparts.
At the national level, SMEC institutions internationalise higher education for strategic alliances, social and cultural development, as well as human resource development.
A globally-oriented, internationally-competitive faculty, personnel, and research will contribute to SMEC’s goal of being an education hub in the region.
The SMEC-UK engagements are expected to produce a range of international projects such as research collaboration, faculty exchange, student mobility, innovative degree and certificate programmes and joint conferences.
