Transnational Education Webinar

This webinar is a collaboration between the British Council France and the University of London Institute in Paris. Transnational Education (TNE) has arisen as a major concept and reality in the international education system. It is defined by Universities UK as “the delivery of degrees in a country other than where the awarding provider is based. It can include, but is not limited to, branch campuses, distance learning, joint and dual degree programmes and Ph.Ds, 'fly-in' faculty”. Essentially, TNE enables students from one country to benefit from a cross-cultural experience, a lower cost of study, and better employability prospects without leaving their own country. In the UK, TNE provision has grown to the point where as many students study through TNE as do travel to study in the UK itself. In many cases, TNE offers a bridge whereby it is possible to split higher education study between the home country and the UK, helping students manage the economics and practicalities of earning a UK degree. While UK TNE is very strongly focused on Asian countries we have recently observed that UK TNE is gradually gaining ground in Europe, especially in Cyprus, Greece and Malta, as well as France and Germany. This webinar aims to contribute to a better understanding of transnational education in France, following the significant changes in the way it is now viewed. Amongst the main questions to be addressed by the event, we will be exploring the following: How is the UK’s TNE impact in France measured? Are financial returns a viable indicator of success or are social, cultural, and non-economic impacts of TNE emerging trends we should be paying closer attention to? Over and above its value in student recruitment, what is the added value of such initiatives in terms of circulation and transfer of knowledge? Ultimately what does it bring to national higher Education sectors? What institutional and economic strategies do TNE partnerships support in the UK and in France? What are the barriers faced by institutions and by students willing to embark on such programmes and how can we address these in the sector? To what extent can we assume that European Universities Alliances are a test bed for a renewed approach to TNE?
