Glocalization, a synthesis of global and local dimensions, has profoundly influenced higher education. This paper explores how glocalization impacts curriculum design, institutional practices, and student outcomes. The analysis highlights its potential to create globally competitive yet locally relevant education systems, while addressing challenges such as cultural homogenization and inequality. Drawing from case studies and interdisciplinary research, this paper examines glocalization’s transformative role in higher education, emphasizing its implications for policy, pedagogy, and institutional development.
