This report uses data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) to analyse Welsh TNE delivery.
It provides an analysis of where students studied, at what level, and through what kind of provision during the 2017−18 academic year. It also puts some of the figures into context, by providing a longitudinal overview of trends in TNE.
Universities UK International is committed to widening the evidence base on UK HE Transnational Education. This is the first time we produce a report analysing data trends in TNE student numbers in Wales. We expect this report will support Welsh higher education leaders and policy-makers define strategic priorities in their internationalisation efforts related to TNE and we are keen to continue working with Universities Wales to enhance and diversify TNE provision from Welsh institutions worldwide.
Eduardo Ramos
Head of Transnational Education, Universities UK International:
We’re seeing a significant shift and increase in Wales with our TNE provision, with almost 27,000 students studying for offshore degrees in 2017/18, that’s 20% higher than those who come to Wales to study. Additionally Welsh provision of TNE has grown at a faster rate than the rest of the UK with an increase of 34.5% from 2013-14 to 2017-18 - these are interesting dynamics, strengthening the drive for delivering TNE in a sustainable way.
