Transnational Education (TNE)
What is Transnational Education (TNE)?
TNE encompasses of activities such as franchise, mobility, joint degree, validation, research activities and others. Currently, our focus is mostly on franchise mode. We franchise Diploma Programmes, Degree Programmes as well as Master Programmes.
”All types of education study program, or sets of courses of study, 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.”
(UNESCO, 2001)
” Transnational education refers to the export of education by a higher education provider outside the country in which the provider is geographically located.”
(Pok, 2019)
The awarding institution franchises delivery of programmes or parts of programmes of study that it has designed (sometimes in partnership with the franchisee) to another institution. This means that the other institution is responsible for delivery of a programme or parts of a programme of study. The awarding institution remains responsible for the standards of awards and quality assurance of the programme. The certification will be awarded by the awarding institution
