flag Australian universities open overseas campuses in Saudi Arabia and beyond, offering cheaper programs amid concerns over academic freedom and safety.

flag Australian universities, including the University of Wollongong, are expanding overseas with campuses in Saudi Arabia and other nations, offering programs at half the cost of on-campus degrees in Australia. flag While the move aims to boost global influence and education access, concerns persist over academic freedom, staff safety—especially for women—and upholding liberal values in countries with restrictive policies. flag Past ventures have had mixed results, with some closing due to political or financial issues, but successful models now rely on strong local partnerships and compliance with host country regulations. flag Institutions maintain they will uphold academic standards, though the balance between international growth and ethical responsibility remains challenging.
