The university's place in A sian cities

The university's place in A sian cities This paper highlights the relationship between the largest cities in East Asia and the comprehensive research universities that are located there. We look at three strands in this relationship. The first involves students and their perception of host cities, which provides a better understanding of student life and how this connects to the social–cultural environment of the city. The second strand examines the relationship between the university and industry, showing how such collaborations represent university products and knowledge spillovers that connect the university to the metropolitan economy. By examining where students plan to go after graduation, the third strand indicates that the city not only receives student migrants studying in metropolitan universities, it also receives graduates from other East Asian universities. Such third country choices (not returning home or staying in the host country) suggest a new after‐study mobility and a small but growing pool of students who are likely to remain in East Asia's largest cities after graduation. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Asia Pacific Viewpoint Wiley

Abstract

This paper highlights the relationship between the largest cities in East Asia and the comprehensive research universities that are located there. We look at three strands in this relationship. The first involves students and their perception of host cities, which provides a better understanding of student life and how this connects to the social–cultural environment of the city. The second strand examines the relationship between the university and industry, showing how such collaborations represent university products and knowledge spillovers that connect the university to the metropolitan economy. By examining where students plan to go after graduation, the third strand indicates that the city not only receives student migrants studying in metropolitan universities, it also receives graduates from other East Asian universities. Such third country choices (not returning home or staying in the host country) suggest a new after‐study mobility and a small but growing pool of students who are likely to remain in East Asia's largest cities after graduation.
