The purpose of this consultation is to gather feedback on proposed amendments relating to the collection of data on transnational education (TNE) students in Northern Ireland and Scotland. These include measures to fill the current gap in our knowledge of these students, for example, in relation to the subjects that they study and the types of TNE activity in which they engage. The specific proposals are set out in the main body of the consultation.
The aim of these...More

There are a few things we need to consider as part of the amalgamation and we would like to...More
