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.

Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) has joint programmes with two universities in China: Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) and Nanchang University (NCU). Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi province in south-east China. Students are taught by a mix of lecturers from their own institution and from QMUL. At each institution there are a few thousand students enrolled on joint programme courses. They need to use QMUL’s virtual learning environment (VLE), which is based on Moodle, as well as QMUL email.
