跨国教育方案的基本逻辑是机构资本在空间上一对一的转移，地点并不重要。本文质疑这些假设，并认为，空间和地点在跨国教育中发挥着重要作用。根据对在香港就读英国学位课程的学生和毕业生的经验进行的研究，我们得出结论，由于与政策相关的社会，文化和经济因素的结合，机构资本并不总是完全和顺利地流动。我们的研究结果还强调了地方在学生体验中的重要性，这一点没有得到提供者的充分认可。这反过来又影响到学生培养体制资本和其他形式社会资本的能力，从而影响到以后的就业机会和社会流动性。
The fundamental logic of transnational education programmes is a one-to-one transfer of institutional capital across space and an unimportance of place. This article interrogates these presumptions and argues that space and place play an important role in transnational education. Drawing on research that examines the experiences of students and graduates of British degree programmes offered in Hong Kong, we conclude that institutional capital does not always travel wholly and smoothly due to a combination of policy-related, social, cultural and economic factors. Our findings also underline the importance of place in students' experiences, which are not sufficiently recognised by the providers. This, in turn, affects the ability of students to cultivate institutional and other forms of social capital, with implications for subsequent employment opportunities and social mobility.
