Transnational education with global impact
As a global university, transnational education (TNE) is central to our mission of providing educational opportunities for all. TNE is the delivery of higher education provision in a country different from where the awarding institution is based.
Through trusted international partnerships, we maximise the success of our students around the world. We do so by empowering students to join our UWS community in their home nations, providing them with access to high-quality, internationally recognised education that supports personal, professional and societal transformation, while contributing to the growing global impact of UWS
Our approach is grounded in academic integrity, our commitment to creating and applying new knowledge, collaboration and shared ambition. Our partnerships are built on trust, quality and long-term commitment. We work with partners not simply to deliver UWS programmes, but to co-create educational experiences that have lasting impact and drive sustainable global growth.
Our TNE partners
We work with trusted higher education partners spanning numerous countries worldwide. Each partnership is built on shared values, mutual respect and a collective commitment to high-quality education with impact, supporting our ambition to expand international reach and enhance global connectivity.
Our partners are co-creators and co-deliverers, working alongside UWS colleagues from programme design and validation through to delivery, quality assurance and continuous enhancement. This approach ensures academic integrity while allowing a meaningful response to local contexts across the globe, strengthening our role as a globally engaged university.
