Franchise Delivery Partnership with a Private Institution in South Asia

A private higher education provider in South Asia is seeking a UK university partner to franchise undergraduate degree programmes in Business, Computing, and Law, with the option for top-up progression from existing Higher National Diplomas. With strong roots in primary and secondary education, the institution is now expanding into the transnational education (TNE) sector via a purpose-built campus and established recognition as a UK Teaching Centre.

  • Established in 2021, this institution is the higher education extension of a long-standing and highly regarded educational group based in a major city in Pakistan. Their new campus and existing partnership with a UK awarding body position them as an emerging player in the country’s expanding TNE market. Currently delivering two-year Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) in Business and Computing, they are looking to establish a long-term partnership with a UK university for the following programmes:

    Phase One:

    • Final year top-up in Business for February and September HND cohorts

    • Final year top-up in Computing for the same intakes

    • Full UK undergraduate degree in Business (delivered locally)

    • Full BSc in Computer Science (delivered locally)

    Phase Two:

    • Full UK LLB Law degree

    Student recruitment is expected to grow steadily from 30–40 students per programme to approximately 100 per intake by year three. According to local higher education regulations, all students will receive enhanced face-to-face academic support. Tuition fees will be around £3,200 per year, with revenue shared between both partners.

    The institution targets learners who are unable to travel abroad due to social or economic barriers — including women from conservative communities, working professionals in family-run enterprises, and students impacted by financial constraints. A flexible partner who can also facilitate limited transfer opportunities to the UK for final-year study is preferred.

    We would be happy to arrange a preliminary conversation to explore this opportunity further.
