Furthermore, a discussion of merits of academic globalization in the lens of an exclusive department in an institution — for this purpose a case study of the Centre of Post Graduate Studies and Professional Development (PGC) of Limkokwing University is being studied here in this research paper. With more than one thousand students from acrossthe world, PGC stands as an institution on its own. Students are empowered through high exposure on practical knowledge, theoretical skills, superlative wisdom etc. Globalization in general terms refers to the interconnectedness of people across the world that influences global cultural, political and economic integration.
