Definitions
EU-Study: Cross-Border Delivery of Higher Education in the EU | Uwe Brandenburg | Andrew McCoshan, October 2012
CBHE in Europe in its infancy; providers are scattered; Southern MS main receivers; Anglophone, public universities major exporters.
Regulatory frameworks highly heterogeneous, but only weakly related to the incidence of CBHE activity; less regulation governing exporting CBHE activities.
Assumption: Quality and quantity of provision in receiving country seem key factor, which makes CBHE attractive for both exporters and recipients alike.
General lack of information on quality assurance.
