| Description | Students taught on transnational higher education (TNE) programmes in Hong Kong do not receive the same 'benefits' as students studying for the equivalent degree in the UK. TNE students are disadvantaged in various ways: sub-standard teaching; non-recognition of their degrees in the local labour market; a lack of campus experiences associated with university; fewer privileges compared with local university students. |
| Exploitation Route | The findings would be useful for researchers working on TNE in other contexts (outside of Hong Kong). |
