Abstract:
This study discusses the purpose, process and practice of quality assurance in transnational education (TNE) wherein institutions in one country award their degrees to students studying in another. This arrangement raises the issue of how the quality and standards of the degree programmes are assured so that they enable the programmes delivered in one country to be considered as being of a comparable quality and standard to those delivered in another. The study explores how the cross-national implementation of quality assurance is conducted and perceived by those engaged in it and the challeng

Abstract:
Chinese higher education (HE) has been through a process of profound restructuring, decentralisation, introduction of market incentives, university mergers, internationalisation, and enlarging student enrolment in the past two decades. Along with the expansion of Chinese HE, the issue of quality has become a concern and has attracted a lot of attention in the Chinese HE sector. Developing quality assurance (QA) systems has been given priority in the agenda of most Chinese higher education institutions (HEIs).

Evaluation, assessment and assurance of academic quality are intrinsic to higher education.

Abstract:
Thailand's higher education sector was officially founded with the establishment of Chulalongkorn University in 1917 and it has continued to grow ever since. However, the unprecedented increase in competition in higher education worldwide, which is primarily driven by globalisation and university league tables, makes it essential for Thailand's higher education institutions (HEIs) to improve their quality and competitiveness. Although a quality assurance (QA) system has been placed since 1999, the quality of Thai higher education (HE) remains problematic, particularly the quality of teaching.

This research provides evidence on the relationship between responsiveness to quality assurance implementation and a business school i) organisational and leadership characteristics, ii) stakeholders’ perceptions of quality assurance as innovation, and iii) the institutional pressures in the organisational field.

Abstract:
The thesis analyses the relationship between the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) and universities in England. It considers why the QAA still appears to be misunderstood and controversial, eighteen years after its establishment. Differing representations of the QAA necessitates it using significant time and resources to explain its status and its relationship with the higher education (HE) sector. These representations also inhibit the maturation and refinement of the quality assurance system in England. The professional issue explored is: why is the QAA viewed and portrayed
