Trans-National Education (TNE)

What is TNE

Education Without Borders

Trans-National Education (TNE) refers to higher education activities that cross national borders, involving the movement of students, teachers, programmes, institutions, knowledge, or educational services. It includes partnerships, exchange programmes, development projects, and commercial initiatives.

TNE can be delivered through face-to-face learning abroad or distance education using technologies such as e-learning. It aims to expand access to higher education, strengthen international cooperation, promote the knowledge economy, and build global research and teaching networks.
