<p>The UK is one of the world’s major providers of trans-national education. As autonomous
institutions, universities make their own decisions about education provision overseas
and are responsible for ensuring their partnerships are managed appropriately with
the right due diligence in place.</p><p>Relevant government departments, including
the Department for International Trade, the Department for Education, and the Foreign,
Commonwealth and Development Office, regularly engage with the university sector to
support higher education institutions when establishing trans-national education programmes,
including working with the British Council to provide advice in particular contexts.
If any provider has concerns, we encourage them to contact the government.</p><p>We
are pleased to see that Universities UK is working on behalf of the sector, and with
government support, further to inform the sector about the importance of appropriate
risk management in its international endeavours. Its recent publication, ‘Managing
Risks in Internationalisation: Security-related issues’, includes specific guidance
on delivering educational programmes overseas and can be accessed here: <a title="https://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/policy-and-analysis/reports/pages/managing-risks-in-internationalisation.aspx"
