Future of Transnational Education: Exec Learning Key
Transnational education (TNE) sits at the core of the UK government’s new International Education Strategy to expand its global education footprint.
Transnational education (TNE) is not new to the UK, but its visibility and strategic importance have grown markedly over the past decade.
The UK’s new International Education Strategy, released on 20 January, situates TNE as a valuable pillar in efforts to strengthen the country’s global education presence and position the UK as the partner of choice across all levels of learning. This emphasis reflects the rapid growth of TNE, with total exports reaching £3 billion across all sectors in 2022, an increase of 30.3% from the previous year.
As the higher education sector faces mounting financial pressures, demographic shifts and government expectations to support lifelong learning, TNE has emerged as a flexible and scalable mode of provision that benefits both learners and institutions. While much of the public discourse has focused on undergraduate and postgraduate provision thus far, a quieter but significant transformation is underway in lifelong learning.
UK higher education institutions, including King’s, are actively working to widen the TNE field into professional and executive education. This article explores the current and future landscape of executive education TNE, arguing that it represents one of the most promising growth areas for UK higher education at a time when global demand for upskilling, reskilling and leadership development continues to accelerate.
