"Nearly one in every three students of UK’s universities is a TNE student, i.e. they earn their British degrees while they are partially or entirely based in a different country from the UK. In 2012, the UK’s TNE export amounted to £18 billion, with a projected increase to £30 billion by 2020 (HEGlobal, 2016). However, the recent events of Brexit seem to have brought this into question, raising practical, empirical and theoretical concerns. This one-day seminar seeks to serve as a platform for these questions to be debated and to make important theoretical, empirical and methodological contributions to TNE as manifest in the cogent disciplines of sociology, anthropology, human geography, education, political science and others."
