What is the symposium? 

This symposium brings together scheme providers from across the UK who are engaged in transnational education.

The event will offer opportunities for providers to discuss aspects of TNE, share practice and opportunities for enhancement.

It will also be an opportunity to shape the approach to the scheme and influence the activities and outputs.

What's on the agenda?

Sessions for the day include:

  • Exploring enhancement and contextualisation through Partnership Insights.
  • Challenges in TNE.
  • Shaping the approach to the scheme activities and outputs.
  • Networking and meeting the team.

Why attend?

The in-person symposiums are one of the ways the UK TNE Quality Scheme can support your TNE activity.

They are an opportunity to meet colleagues working in TNE, share experiences and challenges and learn about different perspectives and approaches to these.

They are also an opportunity to engage with the scheme activities and help shape these for maximum impact.
