Globalisation is an important world phenomenon whose impact can be increasingly felt at the higher education arena. In this paper, we looked at how a local university in Brunei Darussalam has embraced globalisation in three broad areas; teaching and learning, research and internationalisation. Conventionally, a university primarily prepares students on an academic level with the aim of aiding them in establishing a successful career in the future. Today, globalisation is transforming the job market tremendously. Increasing human migration and population has made jobs more competitive. The local university’s traditional curriculum has transformed into a hybrid program incorporating both an academic environment of the highest quality as well as unconventional means of intellectual enrichment. In addition, the university interacts directly with efforts of globalisation by maintaining a prominent presence in the realm of maintaining active exchanges with international collaborators. Moving forward, we propose how we can better deal with globalisation without threatening its fundamental mission in imparting knowledge to students.
