Abstract

ABSTRACT Demonstrating the value of transnational education (TNE) to the United Arab Emirates, and Dubai in particular, is a significant research priority. As Dubai seeks to become a destination for international higher education students, there is a need to better understand how TNE providers are viewed, both locally and internationally, by prospective students. This paper was driven by key questions regarding the perception of TNE; its providers; value for money; and student choice patterns. The research adopted a quantitative approach to generate a deeper understanding of the current TNE situation in Dubai and motivations for studying in Dubai.

期刊介绍： Quality in Higher Education is aimed at those interested in the theory, practice and policies relating to the control, management and improvement of quality in higher education. The journal is receptive to critical, phenomenological as well as positivistic studies. The journal would like to publish more studies that use hermeneutic, semiotic, ethnographic or dialectical research as well as the more traditional studies based on quantitative surveys and in-depth interviews and focus groups. Papers that have empirical research content are particularly welcome. The editor especially wishes to encourage papers on: reported research results, especially where these assess the impact of quality assurance systems, procedures and methodologies; theoretical analyses of quality and quality initiatives in higher education; comparative evaluation and international aspects of practice and policy with a view to identifying transportable methods, systems and good practice; quality assurance and standards monitoring of transnational higher education; the nature and impact and student feedback; improvements in learning and teaching that impact on quality and standards; links between quality assurance and employability; evaluations of the impact of quality procedures at national level, backed up by research evidence.
