This paper has been prepared as part of a series of short reports on specific topics identified by the Asia Taskforce - an initiative of the Business Council of Australia and Asia Society Australia together with knowledge partners PwC Australia and The University of Sydney Business School - to supplement the findings and recommendations contained in the Taskforce Interim Report.  

One of the objectives of the Taskforce was to identify barriers to success in Asia.  Education is Australia’s third biggest export category. This Discussion Paper examines the Australian university sector’s involvement in international coursework education and, in particular, the sector’s educational engagement with China, exclusive of academic research engagement.
