Vangelis Tsiligkiris, Professor of International Education at Nottingham Trent University, and founder of the TNE Hub, shares with us his international education journey as an international student in the UK first, then as a lecturer and director of a UK TNE partner in Greece, then back to the UK as an academic and TNE expert and commentator. He stresses the critical function that TNE plays in widening access to international education to people who would not otherwise be able to afford to travel internationally, and shares some of the key challenges associated with TNE.
He tells us about the potential of Greece to establish itself as a TNE hub following recent regulatory changes, and points to changing patterns in international student mobility due to increasing local supply of quality education internationally... and he shares the memorable experience of going full circle when called to review a TNE partnership of his UK Alma Mater.
