Transnational higher education

Over the past thirty years, higher education has become transformed through internationalisation. One of the consequences of this has been a growth in what has been termed 'transnational' higher education. There are two ways in which transnational higher education can be understood - in relation to the increasing mobility of students within an internationalising higher education system, or with respect to the growth in so-called 'TNE' - involving academic programmes delivered to (largely) domestic students by 'foreign' educational providers. In this chapter, we discuss these different perspectives on - and types of - transnational higher education, focussing on key issues to have emerged in the literature.
