Abstract
The world is facing a severe pandemic that has made millions of students who are experiencing depression and anxiety with their study abroad search for alternatives. One possible solution lies in transnational education programmes that provide high-quality education for students who would like to receive a foreign qualification without leaving their hometown. Transnational education, albeit quite popular all over the world, has been much less known in Vietnam. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a better understanding of transnational education programmes and suggests further research possibilities for the development of transnational education in Vietnam in the post-pandemic period of COVID-19. In theory, this study proposes future research orientation of development trends of transnational education programmes in Vietnam before and after the pandemic. In practice, the research provides measures to be taken for high-rank managers of transnational education providers regarding how to deal with this challenging situation.
