How ready is your institution for the digital realities of transnational education? In 2025, Jisc conducted the only UK sector-wide research into the lived digital experiences of transnational education (TNE) students and staff, hearing from 4,802 students and 471 staff across 51 TNE instances in more than 30 countries. The findings reveal four critical challenges - connectivity, access to resources, cultural differences in use of educational technology, and digital skills - that can make or break global learning delivery.

This session will unpack data on global differences in connectivity, learning modes, and GenAI adoption, alongside staff perspectives from fly-in, remote, and host-country roles. Plus, get an exclusive preview of Jisc’s Spring 2026 TNE digital checklist, a practical tool translating research into actionable steps for setting up new operations and strengthening existing partnerships, overseas campuses, and online programmes.
