Following the Government’s International Strategy 2026, Universities are under increasing pressure to expand their international reach and international branch campuses are becoming an increasingly important part of the conversation. But what legal, regulatory and governance issues should institutions consider before entering a new market?

In this discussion, we examine the strategic drivers behind the rise of international branch campuses and some of the practical considerations that should be addressed from the outset. Using examples from India, UAE, Greece, and other jurisdictions, we will consider potential operating models, governance arrangements and regulatory frameworks,  as well as some of the common risks and challenges institutions may encounter when entering a new market. Whether your institution is actively considering an international branch campus or is at an earlier stage of assessing its global strategy, this discussion will provide a practical framework for asking the right questions and planning the route from ambition to sustainable delivery.
