Transnational education in its various forms – from franchise programs, twinning programs and branch campuses - is now an integral element in the landscape of many countries.  Australia was one of the first countries to develop twinning programs with foreign education institutions and to establish a foreign branch campus of an Australian university.  Transnational education is not just about Australian programs overseas but it is about the people whose lives it touches.  With almost 20,000 students in Australian transnational programs in Malaysia, Australian education reaches students from many different countries and backgrounds.
