Transnational courses allow students to undertake study in another country although they are taught by UWA staff or their representatives.
Such programs have risks associated with them â educational, financial, and cultural â and need:
- careful planning at both strategic and developmental stages
- a high concern for quality assurance, good negotiation skills
- creativity
- the energy and will to carry through.
It is important for staff considering developing and establishing such a program to discuss the project early in the process with the Director of the International Centre so that the knowledge of previous experiences of others can be tapped.
Issues which will need to be resolved before a fully-developed proposal is ready for University consideration include:
- strategic objectives
- marketability
- partners
- risk management
- business case
- program development
- promotion
