Summary/Abstract: The growing impact of globalisation is felt in different spheres of life. Internationalisation is one of the terms used to describe this impact, it is a phenomenon closely related to globalisation processes. Higher education sector seems to be most effected by both, because following the Bologna Declaration there should be a coherent and cohesive European Higher Education Area created by the year 2010. That is why it is important to explore the relationship between globalisation and internationalisation and analyze the international dimension of the higher education. Globalisation and internationalisation are seen as different but dynamically linked concepts: the first one is seen as catalist, while the second one as the response. Internationalisation of higher education is one of the ways the country responds to the impact of globalisation. There are different approaches to internationalisation at institutional level as well as factors influencing its implementation.
