教育是百年樹人的大業，隨著時代背景的推移，為求能提升國家的競爭力、因應社會廣大民眾的需求，以及個人潛能的發展，均須時時有所創新及改革。尤其，大學是孕育國家發展人才的搖籃，兼具有研究高深學術、學習專門知能及推廣服務之重責大任。是以，高等教育的發展係關乎與世界各國競賽及頭角崢嶸的磐石。再者，高等教育是培育專門人才之搖籃，使大學生能夠涵養人文學識、豐富專業知能、擴充國際視野，而能與各國競爭，故高等教育之改革為各國國家發展的必然趨勢。台灣與日本就地理位置、歷史脈絡、學制沿革、教育方式等常有著異曲同工之妙，其高等教育改革的措施亦有諸多可比較之處。本文針對近年來台、日兩國的高等教育國際人才培育加以比較，並提出本文之結論，藉供高等教育研究者、國家行政與教育單位等之參考。
