  2. Cross-border HE: The situation • In 2004 2,7 million students were enrolled outside their country of citizenship • This represented an 8% increase in one year and a four-fold increase in 30 years • OECD-estimate: Value of more than 40 billion US$ per year

  3. Guidelines – the rationale • Learners need to be protected from the risks of misinformation, low-quality provision and qualifications of limited validity • Qualifications should be readable and transparent in order to increase their international validity and portability • Qualifications should be recognised internationally with as few difficulties as possible • National quality assurance and accreditation agencies need to intensify their international cooperation in order to increase their mutual understanding

  4. Purpose of the Guidelines • Protect students • And encourage the development of quality CBHE • Not legally binding • Strengthen capacity of QA • Meet needs in different types of provision

  5. What to look for • Legislation and rules • Does national legislation cover cross-border provision (both in and out) • Is there any body with competence to overlook the area • HE Institutions • Are the institution making reference to the Guidelines when marketing cross-border programmes • Quality assurance • Do national QA bodies have competence/capacity to evaluate/accredit CBHE • Student bodies • Are they informed about the guidelines? Do they have activities informing students? Do they participate in dialogue with other stakeholders?
