Abstract
The Covid pandemic had a significant impact on the education sector, particularly in higher education. This has been further impacted by the current global economic slowdown, which cuts across both developed and developing countries, due to disruptions caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Many universities are now expecting a decline in international student mobility, which can potentially last for 5 to 10 years. There is also a great possibility that students who decide not to travel overseas to study, might enrol on a transnational higher education programme considering the greater financial benefits it provides. This paper explores the past, present and future direction of the international student mobility and transnational education sector. It also investigates and identifies the impacts of the pandemic on international student mobility and the transnational education sector. It identifies the challenges of the post-pandemic era, which could potentially cause long-term changes to the global higher education landscape.
