Anglo-Spanish higher education cooperation on the rise

By Carolina Jimenez. Recent research by the British Council in Spain, which reviews the UK-Spain higher education relationship, shows evidence of a dynamic and varied range of cooperation.
Activities – including long-term student mobility and recruitment; research cooperation; student and staff exchanges; and interesting transnational education agreements (including joint and dual degrees, validation and various programmes of articulation) – all contribute to offer students highly competitive education models. Given the social, economic and political impact of English and Spanish (see the British Council Spain and Instituto Cervantes’ joint publication, Word for Word), there is clear motivation for both UK and Spanish universities to embrace collaboration and reinforce current ties.
