Transnational education: Protecting the interests of students taught abroad

Transnational education, delivered across national borders to students living abroad, is increasingly important globally, and accounts for an ever larger percentage of the students registered with English universities and colleges. These students are entitled to expect the same quality and standards as those resident in England, and their courses are subject to the same regulation. Drawing on the latest data published by Jisc, this brief outlines the scale and shape of this activity, our interest in it and how we regulate it.
