This chapter provides a comparative analysis of four international joint universities in Asia, offering insights into their founding, governance, academic programs, research activities, and international engagement. These institutions are Duke Kunshan University in China; the University of Science and Technology Hanoi, whose foreign partner is France; Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College; and Xi’an Jiaotong–Liverpool University. Together they illustrate the similarities and differences in their approaches to being co-founded, co-governed, and jointly funded with partners from a host and foreign partner country. Special emphasis is placed on the analysis of their strategic goals, rationales, and that two of them are self-labeled as Liberal Arts institutions. Of particular interest is that international joint universities located in China are all co-founded by two existing universities and must offer their master’s and doctoral degrees in the name of their foreign partner institution. Furthermore, according to the Ministry of Education regulations, a partnership with a Hong University is considered a Sino-foreign joint venture. By examining these case studies in the context of the host country regulations, the chapter underscores the complexities and potential of international joint universities as collaborative models of international higher education.
