Introduction to One Global University

A transnational education partnership can promise equivalent learning, but what does parity look like in practice - and who gets to define it? One Global University is a podcast series produced by University of Portsmouth in collaboration with Universities UK International (UUKi) TNE Network. This show brings together university and partner voices to examine the real choices behind fair, effective TNE. Hosted by Dr Aneta Hayes of the University of Portsmouth and Anouf El-Daher, Policy Officer for Africa and the Middle East at Universities UK International, One Global University looks beyond agreements and aspirations to the realities of working across different regulatory, cultural and institutional contexts. You’ll hear why digital delivery can make or break academic equivalence, why international partnerships must be a two-way exchange of knowledge, and how equity in provision depends on more than simply keeping a promise. The series also asks a challenging question: is equivalence always possible - or even desirable? For academics, partnership leaders, quality assurance professionals and policy makers, these conversations offer practical perspectives from people shaping transnational education around the world. Listen for fresh ways to think about parity, partnership and what it takes to make TNE work for everyone involved.
