Transnational Education (TNE) is an area of significant and growing interest to the UK education sector. The range and number of TNE activities, such as remote campuses or joint degree programmes, continues to grow rapidly, with expected continued growth in the coming years. TNE is also rising up the political agenda owing to its potential as a high earning export industry; ‘Supporting Transnational Education’ is one of the key policy strands in the UK Government’s ‘International Education Strategy’. Historically Janet’s offerings have been delivered almost exclusively within the UK. However in response to the growing demand from the community, we have made a strategic decision improve the support we offer for your developing TNE activities. Through our TNE strategy and support programme we seek to address your requirement for cost-effective, appropriate and reliable connectivity services overseas, integrated with our UK-based operations and Janet’s other services, to support TNE delivery on a global basis. This group is for any person or organisation interested in our developing transnational education programme of activities; this community site will be a valuable source of information to us to understand your requirements as we develop our overseas support over the coming months. We also aim for this to be a valuable source of information for informing your own TNE activities.

Janet and Heriot Watt have been working in close collaboration to connect their Malaysian campus, just outside Kuala Lumpar, ready for their first intake of students in September 2014. This has been sucessfully achieved in the last few weeks utilising Telecom Malaysia, who Janet have also established good working and contractual relationships with for the benefit of the sector. Further information and details will be available as a case study published in autumn 2014, which will describe the challenges and opportunities for Heriot Watt's Malaysian venture and connection back to their UK campus.
