Introduction

Everyone knows that there has been a marked increase in transnational higher education activity over the past twenty years. But it is unclear how this has affected those who make their living in higher education, which is why this research study is so important.

About the Author

Dr. Michael Clarke, currently the Principal of Global College Malta, explores the challenges that come along with the increased mobility that transnational higher education has allowed, focusing specifically on British expatriate academics based in the UAE.

Key Questions Addressed

Get answers to questions such as: What are the benefits and drawbacks for British academics working abroad? How does working overseas affect long-term career aspirations? What are conditions like at higher education institutions located overseas? How can educational practices from overseas be used to improve education at home?

Who Will Benefit

Whether you are an educator or an administrator in a higher education setting, the insights and recommendations in this study will equip you with the tools you need to improve the learning experience for students and working conditions for staff.
