Transnational Education
Building Global Partnerships that Matter
At UWE Bristol, collaboration is key to shaping the future of global education. With more than 20 years of transnational education (TNE) experience worldwide, we work alongside leading universities, businesses, and government bodies to co-create meaningful, future-ready education pathways. Through initiatives such as RISE (Research, Innovation, Skills, Enterprise), we extend this spirit of partnership, connecting learners and partners to opportunities that translate ideas into action and research into real-world impact. Together, we are developing projects and pathways that make a lasting difference.
