Our TNE portfolio enables thousands of students across the globe to study for Lancaster degrees close to home while enjoying the same academic standards and quality assurance as on our UK campus. In doing so, we are not only expanding global access to higher education but also strengthening Lancaster’s international profile in teaching, research and global graduate outcomes.
