Internationalisation and employability development are important themes for UK higher education (HE) and the Higher Education Academy (HEA). One aspect of many UK HE institutions’ internationalisation strategies has been to increase the number and range of UK programmes delivered ‘offshore’ as transnational education (TNE) – through overseas partner institutions international branch campuses or distance learning.
This research project aims to understand the extent to which curricula and planned study-related experiences for students on TNE programmes of UK universities are supporting the development of employability.
