Welcome to TNE Institute
THE WORLD'S FIRST TNE PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTE
TNE Institute provides specialist TNE training, consultancy and professional development for universities, academics and education professionals. Our services include Level 7 TNE qualifications, institutional training, executive coaching, TNE strategy and planning, health checks, and market research.
TNE Institute also partners with China Connected, a service supporting UK and international universities to understand, navigate and engage with China's higher education landscape—from China strategy and partner development to TNE, student recruitment and academic delivery. Combining market intelligence, institutional experience and local networks, China Connected helps universities build sustainable engagement with China. Together, these services support institutions in developing sustainable TNE.
Our Mission
To become the gateway to transnational education — making TNE accessible and practical by transforming industry reports, policies, research and theory into meaningful, context-specific professional practice.
A pioneer in TNE professional development
TNE Institute (trading name of TNEAcademy Ltd, Company No. 16647669) is the world's first institution dedicated exclusively to Transnational Education as a professional discipline.
We exist because TNE is too important -and too complex — to leave to chance. While many TNE success stories are celebrated across the sector, divergent interpretations, inconsistent practices, and inadequate professional training continue to undermine quality and sustainability.
Our programmes and consultancy draw on global expertise, real-world collaborations, and an international mentor scheme that connects learners with both deep local insight and robust UK higher education experience.
Education - TNE Staff training (PG Cert, Level 7 in TNE)
The world's first Level 7 qualification designed specifically for TNE practitioners. Build advanced professional competence, deepen your understanding of TNE principles, and earn a globally recognised credential. Supports applications for Advance HE Fellowship (FHEA).
From £1,500 - £3,200— Apr 2027 intake open
Consultancy
Tailored consultancy for institutions seeking to develop, review, or improve TNE arrangements. Services include strategic planning, governance review, market research, due diligence, and operational support. Drawing on decades of senior UK HE experience.
