About the Westminster Higher Education Forum Conference

This conference will focus on next steps for UK transnational education, looking at priorities for policy, regulation and quality assurance, and market growth. Delegates will discuss approaches for developing partnerships, and building capacity in ways that support both UK providers and their overseas partners, alongside policy ambitions for the UK’s positioning in international higher education and cultural exchange. 

Jen will join senior representatives from the sector at 09:30 for the session: Priorities for developing the UK’s TNE offer - evolving demand and delivery objectives. 

Together, Jen and the panel will consider options for expanding TNE in ways that balance ambitions for market growth with support for skills pipelines in host countries, and for leveraging TNE to contribute to wider UK aims relating to global research, trade and diplomatic engagement. Other sessions in the agenda look at long-term strategies for adaptable TNE models, and how universities can respond to pressures arising from resource constraints, fluctuating student demand and geopolitical changes.
