This project is a part of UK–Egypt Trans-National Education (TNE) Grants 2023-24 - The British Council in Egypt is offering competitive grants to UK higher education institutions to partner with universities in Egypt to support greater internationalisation and transnational education.
The purpose of this call was to foster further collaboration between the UK and Egyptian higher education sectors. It is part of the work of the British Council in higher education and science, which aims to extend, strengthen, and deepen connections between the UK education sector and the Egyptian education sector. It is motivated by the belief that international collaboration produces more effective research for addressing global problems, while enhancing teaching and learning to produce graduates with the skills necessary for economic development.
There are three key target development areas:
A teaching and collaboration model and a course or module that contributes towards UK and Egyptian bachelor’s, master’s, or professional association qualifications
A model and a course that contributes to student outcomes through significantly enhancing employability skills and prospects, e.g., an apprenticeship degree
A development programme to improve the capacity of the institution/organisation for international working at the institutional level
Project activities will contribute to the achievement of GGP short and long-term outcomes, including:
UK and Egyptian HEIs have improved relevant market understanding and access
Increased scale and effectiveness of UK TNE and Joint Teaching Programme, including digital delivery
Students, graduates, researchers, staff, and policy makers develop a greater international outlook and capacity for internationalisation
Increased mobility (including virtual) to and from the UK for staff, students, researchers, and policy makers
Improved capacity for internationalisation at the institutional level
