Overview
Join us at the Transnational Education Conference 2026, a two-day event bringing together higher education professionals, policymakers and global partners to explore the next phase of UK transnational education. The conference will combine strategic reflection with practical insight, focusing on the policies, partnerships and delivery models shaping TNE in an increasingly complex global environment.

Whether you are shaping strategy or delivering TNE on the ground, this conference offers timely insight, practical perspectives and meaningful sector dialogue.
