Against the backcloth of higher pedagogy shift toward quality governance, the internationalisation of private universities has get a important metric for assess quality. Take 25 private undergraduate universities in Shandong Province as a comprehensive sample, this survey employ text analysis, rating, hence and typological analysis to search the characteristic, path differentiation. And internal logic of educational internationalisation across institutional construction, project forms, and quality assurance. The findings patently unveil important path differentiation, categorized into three primary development trajectories: the trunk type centered on register programme, the experimental type featuring multi-layer program, and the transformation type drive by model innovation. Key drivers of this distinction include organisational brass, institutional frameworks; and resource availability. Apply Qingdao Film Academy as a case study of private art universities, this paper place its current phase, characterise by stable non-programme but imperfect programme and governance mechanisms. To address challenge like cross-coordination, the survey build a three-bed nested transition model cover way, capacity. And mechanism. It urge that art universities purchase level-ground program to raise curriculum coordination, restructuring, thereby and resource integration. For progress the high-quality internationalization of private art institutions nationally, espouse a characteristic development path rivet on pattern embedding and systematic governance will furnish and practical guidance.References
