partnership
Professor Nigel Healey
Pro-Vice-Chancellor
(International)
7 May 2014
Overview
• What is transnational education
(TNE)?
• What are the main ‘types’ of TNE?
• Why classify TNE?
• How is TNE changing?
• Alternative ways of classifying TNE
2
What is TNE?
• “Any teaching or learning activity in which the students are in a
different country to that in which the institutional providing the
education is based” (Global Alliance for Transnational Education,
1997)
• “All types of higher education study programmes, sets of study
courses, or educational services (including those of distance
education) in which the learners are located in a country different
from the one where the awarding institution is based” (Council of
Europe, 2002)
3
Types of TNE (1): by activity
1. Distance-learning
2. International branch campus
3. Franchise/twinning
4. Validation
4
Types of TNE (2): by mode of delivery (GATS)
5
GATS terminology Transnational education variant
Mode 1 — Cross border
supply
Programme mobility: distance or on-
line education
Mode 2 — Consumption
abroad
Student mobility: export education
Mode 3 — Commercial
presence
Institutional mobility:
• International branch campus
• franchise
• validated partner
Mode 4 — Presence of
natural persons
Staff mobility: fly-in/fly-out
programmes

Why classify TNE?
• Choice of market entry (international business)
• Risk (quality assurance)
• Control (host government)

How is TNE changing?
• Analysis of 30 TNE case studies gathered from around the
world through www.linkedin.com
• Analysis of 40 QAA reports of TNE partnerships:
– China (2012)
– Singapore (2011)
– Malaysia (2010)
– India (2009)
– First three are the three largest TNE markets, India is the market
with the most potential

Limits of existing typologies
18
…and some TNE partnerships off the radar
Classify TNE according to the source of the risk
19
Classify according to the motivation for the
TNE partnership
• Spectrum 1: Regional access vs stand-alone outposts
• Spectrum 2: Subject specialism vs multidisciplinary
partnerships
• Spectrum 3: Research-led vs teaching-led partnerships
20
Conclusions
• TNE partnerships are becoming increasingly complex,
multidimensional and innovative
• Existing typologies are increasingly unable to keep up with
developments (microcosm of challenges of globalisation
generally – eg, for tax law, environmental control)
• Alternative typologies can be based on:
– Risk
– Purpose of TNE partnership
21

The changing face of transnational education: new forms of transnational partnership

  • 1. The changing face of transnational education: new forms of transnational partnership Professor Nigel Healey Pro-Vice-Chancellor (International) 7 May 2014
  • 2. Overview • What is transnational education (TNE)? • What are the main ‘types’ of TNE? • Why classify TNE? • How is TNE changing? • Alternative ways of classifying TNE 2
  • 3. What is TNE? • “Any teaching or learning activity in which the students are in a different country to that in which the institutional providing the education is based” (Global Alliance for Transnational Education, 1997) • “All types of higher education study programmes, sets of study courses, or educational services (including those of distance education) in which the learners are located in a country different from the one where the awarding institution is based” (Council of Europe, 2002) 3
  • 4. Types of TNE (1): by activity 1. Distance-learning 2. International branch campus 3. Franchise/twinning 4. Validation 4
  • 5. Types of TNE (2): by mode of delivery (GATS) 5 GATS terminology Transnational education variant Mode 1 — Cross border supply Programme mobility: distance or on- line education Mode 2 — Consumption abroad Student mobility: export education Mode 3 — Commercial presence Institutional mobility: • International branch campus • franchise • validated partner Mode 4 — Presence of natural persons Staff mobility: fly-in/fly-out programmes
  • 6. How big is TNE (a UK perspective)? 2007/08 2008/09 2009/10 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 Overseas campus 7,120 9,885 11,410 12,305 15,140 17,525 Distance learning 100,345 112,345 114,985 113,065 116,520 123,635 Other students registered at HEI 59,895 68,595 74,360 86,630 96,060 103,795 Overseas partner organisation 29,240 197,185 207,790 291,575 342,910 353,375 Other 70 35 50 125 345 600 Total 196,670 388,045 408,595 503,700 570,925 598,930 Source: HESA
  • 7. Why classify TNE? • Choice of market entry (international business) • Risk (quality assurance) • Control (host government) 7
  • 8. Choice of market entry (international business: stages approach) 8 Distance learning Franchise Validation International Branch Campus
  • 11. How is TNE changing? • Analysis of 30 TNE case studies gathered from around the world through www.linkedin.com • Analysis of 40 QAA reports of TNE partnerships: – China (2012) – Singapore (2011) – Malaysia (2010) – India (2009) – First three are the three largest TNE markets, India is the market with the most potential 11
  • 12. 12
  • 15. 15
  • 16. 16
  • 17. 17
  • 18. Limits of existing typologies 18 …and some TNE partnerships off the radar
  • 19. Classify TNE according to the source of the risk 19
  • 20. Classify according to the motivation for the TNE partnership • Spectrum 1: Regional access vs stand-alone outposts • Spectrum 2: Subject specialism vs multidisciplinary partnerships • Spectrum 3: Research-led vs teaching-led partnerships 20
  • 21. Conclusions • TNE partnerships are becoming increasingly complex, multidimensional and innovative • Existing typologies are increasingly unable to keep up with developments (microcosm of challenges of globalisation generally – eg, for tax law, environmental control) • Alternative typologies can be based on: – Risk – Purpose of TNE partnership 21
  • 22. Further reading on TNE typologies • Healey, N. (2014), Towards a risk-based typology for transnational education, Higher Education, (DOI) 10.1007/s10734-014-9757-6 • Healey, N. and Michael, L. (2014), Towards a new framework for analysing transnational education, Higher Education Policy (in press)
