About My Project:

Looking at Post 92 UK HEIs and collaborative provision models of transnational education (TNE), using a Gramsci's theory of hegemony and Weber's theory on power the study will look at how these types of TNE partnerships are formed and look at the possible use of soft power demonstrated by universities in creating and operating partnerships of this kind. The study will seek to produce recommendations that stakeholders could incorporate in the strategic development and operational management of these types of TNE in order to make them more co-collaborative between an awarding university and an overseas education provider.
