Master’s programmes at transnational higher education institutions in China
Studies have extensively documented student motivations for enrolling in transnational higher education (TNHE). However, most research focuses on undergraduates, leaving motivations for postgraduate enrolment largely unexplored. These programmes are of strategic importance in preventing ‘brain drain’ and have expanded steadily over the past decade. This study, based on interviews with 24 master’s students from two TNHE institutions in China, empl…
Part-time master’s students’ attitudes towards study and work
An increasing number of part-time adult learners have enrolled in master’s programmes globally for career advancement and personal growth. The educational and working backgrounds of these part-time master’s students are diverse. Their motivations for pursuing master’s degrees and continued learning are also varied. We explored part-time master’s students’ attitudes towards study and work through a qualitative research design based on semi-structu…
PyBiblioNet
Bibliometric analysis is a critical tool for understanding the structure, dynamics, and impact of scientific research. Traditional methods often fall short in capturing the intricate relationships and evolving trends within scientific literature. To address this gap, we present pyBiblioNet, a Python library designed to facilitate comprehensive network-based bibliometric analysis, providing insights into citation networks, co-authorship networks, …
Pathways to master’s education
Previous studies have identified the tendency among transnational higher education (TNHE) graduates to pursue master’s programmes, especially overseas degrees. Nonetheless, there is a lack of exploratory research on this ‘transnational’ group to understand the logic of practice behind this phenomenon. This article draws on interviews with 23 students at a Sino-US university to understand their perceptions of master’s study and explore the effect …
Internationalisation with Chinese characteristics
Although previous research has explored the impact of global and local forces on transnational higher education (TNHE) at a macro level, limited attention has been paid to students’ lived experiences navigating the mixed influences. To address the research gap, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with 35 Chinese undergraduates enrolled in two Sino-foreign cooperative universities (SFCUs). From the theoretical lens of paradox, this stu…
Master's programmes at Sino‐foreign cooperative universities in China
This study explores the current status and practices of master's programmes at Sino‐foreign cooperative universities (SFCUs) in China. A document analysis of university publications is conducted on 133 master's programmes at nine SFCUs. The findings show the diversified development of disciplines and heterogeneity across nine universities. By examining how these programmes entangle with neoliberal ideas, marketisation and western orientation are …
Concept of research among master’s students in Hong Kong
Institutional habitus and individual postgraduation plans
This paper focuses on an emerging group in Chinese higher education – students in transnational higher education (TNHE). Recent research has documented much about students’ motivations for attending TNHE institutions. However, the impact of such institutions on student outputs remains under-researched. This study conducted interviews with 78 final-year undergraduates and 10 staff from two Sino-foreign cooperative universities (SFCUs) to understan…

Demographers are increasingly interested in connecting demographic behaviour and trends with 'soft' measures, i.e., complementary information on attitudes, values, feelings, and intentions
Biliteracy and language development in Samoan bilingual classrooms
This article addresses an area of international concern, the need to enhance the development in reading comprehension for English Language Learners. We report results of an intervention to raise achievement in English (L2) in Samoan bilingual classrooms for 9–13 year old Samoan children. The general aim was to examine patterns of biliteracy and language development exploring relationships between targeted changes in L2 and levels of language and …
