Abstract

Abstract Hochschule Wismar, Germany, has been implementing Master programmes for international students since 1992. However, for most European universities, it is a rather new phenomenon. The purpose of the work is to analyse scientific literature on European higher education programmes for international students and to outline a theoretical framework of European higher education programmes for international students underpinning elaboration of new research question on master programmes for international engineering students. The research methodology comprises the study of the meaning of the key concepts of “framework”, “theoretical framework” and “international students”. Moreover, the logical chain of analysis is shown: theoretical framework → empirical study within a multicultural environment → conclusions. The case study research is applied. The empirical study was carried out at Hochschule Wismar, Germany in March 2017. Semi-structured interview served as the basis for data collection. The empirical findings allow complementing the elaborated theoretical framework consisting of the concepts on reasons for, language and impact of Masetr programme for international students with such a concept as European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Directions of further research are proposed. The novel contribution of the paper is the newly formulated research question on master programmes for international students.
德国威斯玛大学国际学生信息与电子工程硕士课程:理论框架
自1992年以来,德国维斯玛大学一直在为国际学生实施硕士课程。然而,对于大多数欧洲大学来说,这是一个相当新的现象。这项工作的目的是分析有关欧洲国际学生高等教育计划的科学文献,并概述欧洲国际学生高等教育计划的理论框架,以支持对国际工程专业硕士课程的新研究问题的阐述。研究方法包括研究“框架”、“理论框架”和“国际学生”这三个关键概念的含义。分析的逻辑链条为:理论框架→多元文化环境下的实证研究→结论。采用案例研究的方法。该实证研究于2017年3月在德国维斯马大学进行。半结构化访谈是数据收集的基础。实证研究结果补充了详细阐述的理论框架,包括欧洲学分转换系统(ECTS)等概念对国际学生硕士课程的原因、语言和影响的概念。提出了进一步研究的方向。本文的新颖之处在于新制定的关于国际学生硕士课程的研究问题。
