Transnational education in UK institutions continued to grow across all regions of the globe last year, apart from Australasia, according to a new report.
The figures, compiled by Universities UK International (UUKi), show that 162 UK higher education providers reported 558,215 students learning via transnational education (TNE) in 2021-22.
The data, which mirrors Times Higher Education analysis from earlier this year, shows a 9 per cent rise in the number of UK TNE students in 2020-21.
The report – an aggregation of data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency’s Aggregate Offshore Record – shows that TNE numbers have been rising for the past five years (when Oxford Brookes University, a bulk TNE recruiter that changed its reporting process, is excluded).
