Programme and Module Design and Delivery in TNE

The quality of a TNE programme ultimately rests on the strength of its curriculum design and the quality of its day-to-day teaching delivery. This CPD workshop equips academic staff and programme leaders with the theoretical frameworks and practical tools to design programmes that are academically rigorous, student-centred, outcomes-aligned, and contextually responsive.<br><br>Drawing on UK best practice in curriculum design, quality assurance, teaching delivery, assessment alignment and student engagement, participants will develop the skills to build, deliver and continuously improve high-quality TNE programmes that meet institutional, regulatory and partnership expectations — while genuinely serving the needs of their students.

TNE Leadership & Academic Management

This leadership programme equips management staff with the strategic, cross-cultural and partnership-management capabilities required to lead transnational education (TNE) partnerships in a global context. Moving beyond operational compliance and quality assurance, it explores the deeper organisational, cultural and philosophical differences that shape international higher education collaborations, including governance expectations, decision-making structures, accountability frameworks, partner relationships and institutional purpose. Participants learn to operate confidently across diverse education systems, maintaining academic standards while adapting to local regulatory, cultural and organisational contexts. The programme covers partnership governance, regulatory compliance, risk management, stakeholder engagement, internationalisation strategy and the full student experience across borders.

International Staff Teaching in China

This programme prepares international faculty for the specific demands of teaching in Chinese higher education under a Sino-foreign TNE framework. It addresses the deep structural differences between Confucian-heritage pedagogy — rooted in respect for authority, collective harmony, and examination culture — and Western liberal traditions of Socratic enquiry, individual voice, and critical debate. Participants develop cultural intelligence, pedagogical flexibility, and the professional skills to build trust with Chinese students, colleagues, and administrators. 本培训帮助外籍教师理解中国教育环境与学生特点，提升课堂融合效果与跨文化教学能力。

TNE Strategy and Planning Development

TNE Strategy and Planning Development supports universities and education partners to move from opportunity-led international activity to a more structured, evidence-informed and sustainable TNE approach. The training or consultancy helps staff understand how to assess markets, select suitable partners, financial modelling, choose the right delivery model, align internal teams, manage quality and risk, and build TNE partnerships that are academically credible, commercially realistic and student-centred.<br>
