Transnational Education

The University of Auckland is actively engaging with the development of the following models of transnational education (TNE) collaboration. The majority of these models are formalised credit transfer arrangements with partner universities overseas, whereby the University effectively gives an assurance that students reaching certain standards will be permitted to transfer credit to specified programmes at the University of Auckland.

Successful candidates would graduate with masters degrees from both the home university and the University of Auckland.
