Abstract

Transnational Education (TNE) in Singapore has emerged as a transformative model in the global education landscape, offering students access to internationally recognized qualifications without the need to study abroad. By fostering collaborations between local institutions and prestigious foreign universities, TNE bridges the gap between local and global education systems. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the evolution, benefits, challenges, and sustainability of TNE in Singapore, enriched by primary data from student satisfaction surveys and interviews with stakeholders. Drawing on comparative insights from regional hubs such as Malaysia and the UAE, the paper identifies best practices and contextual differences in TNE implementation. It highlights TNE’s role in enhancing global competencies, career prospects, and cultural exchange while addressing the impact of government initiatives like Skills Future and the commodification of education. The paper concludes with actionable strategies for strengthening TNE policy implementation and academic partnerships, aiming to reinforce Singapore’s position as a leading education hub.
