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)

Programme mobility: distance or on-line education
Mode 2 — Consumption abroad Student mobility: export education
Mode 3 — Commercial presence

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 in China (2012), Singapore (2011), Malaysia (2010), India (2009)
• Key findings:
– Most TNE partnerships involve more than one TNE activity and/or more than one mode of delivery
– A number of “TNE partnerships” are not technically TNE at all

Key messages
• There are no ‘clear’ types: TNE partnerships are multidimensional with changing boundaries
• The organisational form of TNE depends on the motives of the UK university, the partner, the host government/regulator and student demand…
• …and these will change over time
21
Parallels with international business
• Corporations internationalised in stages from exporting to licensing to foreign direct investment
• But as their ownership, workforce, customer base, R&D and production globalised, they transformed from transnational into multinational corporations
22
The end of TNE, the rise of multinational education?

With TNE, it is not only the customers that are multinational…
Stakeholders and TNE

Final thought: what do these universities have in common?
