This book provides an in-depth analysis of the motivations, experiences, and challenges that Chinese students face in transnational higher education (TNHE). It traces their educational journey-from their initial motivations for seeking TNHE to their graduate employment-while exploring the academic, social, and cultural dimensions of their experiences. Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of Chinese students' engagement with TNHE, both within China and at later stages abroad. The book offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers, providing a strong foundation for addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with TNHE in China. Additionally, it serves as a key resource for those interested in enhancing Chinese students' perceptions of and experiences in TNHE programmes. Beyond practical implications, this book contributes to the theorisation of TNHE, teacher development, and research methodologies in the field.
