Why should you attend the inaugural Offshore Campus Management Forum ?
The event comes at a time when the issue is currently extremely topical. Many new projects are currently underway and Australian universities are looking at the Asia Pacific region to develop offshore campuses.
Whilst transnational education offers many benefits for both the education provider and students, it also brings with it a range of challenges in ensuring quality and standards transcend across borders.
This event will allow you to:
- Learn from current projects’s success and challenges of other higher education institutions
- In particular, hear international keynote presentation from Dr. Don Olcott , CEO of The Observatory on Borderless Education. The research institute provides strategic information and advice to all universities looking to take their education programs offshore.
- Hear solutions to the issues of quality and standards transfer to offshore campuses.
- Raise your concerns and discuss issues that are critical to the success of your transnational education programs
