| Abstract: | Transnational tertiary education is an ancient, growing field but one comparatively little investigated to date, especially as regards its effects on students who study in branches of foreign higher education institutions or who cross national boundaries in pursuit of learning at the tertiary level. This article attempts, through the use of case studies, to explore these effects across a range of transnational study scenarios, with special emphasis on the legal, ethical, and practical implications of effects on students. A taxonomy is presented to guide providers and accrediting bodies in setting and monitoring standards in all aspects of transnational tertiary education. |
