Roots IVY International College: Pakistan’s Only Institution with Dual Transnational Education Approvals

In a rapidly globalizing world, education has become the passport to future success—and transnational education (TNE) is the gateway. Yet while many institutions in Pakistan promise international exposure, only one has truly achieved it at the highest level: Roots IVY International College.

With pride and purpose, Roots IVY stands as the only educational institution in Pakistan approved under both Type 1 and Type 2 categories of HEC’s Transnational Education (TNE) Framework. This exclusive status isn’t just a title—it’s a bold testament to our unwavering commitment to academic excellence, international recognition, and transformative student experiences.

What is Transnational Education (TNE)?

Transnational Education, as defined by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan, refers to the delivery of educational programs across borders. Under the HEC framework, there are two distinct types of TNE approval:

Type 1: Programs that are delivered jointly or in collaboration with international universities but taught primarily by local faculty, using a standardized international curriculum.
Type 2: Programs fully delivered by international university faculty (on-site or virtually), maintaining identical academic standards as the home campus abroad.

What Does This Mean for Students?

This dual-status TNE approval is a major academic milestone—and a rare opportunity for students across Pakistan. Here’s what it unlocks:

Globally Accredited Degrees
Students can now earn degrees directly from internationally ranked institutions, including those from the UK, Germany, and other leading education systems.
International Curriculum in Pakistan
Our programs are not “inspired by” international models—they are international. With oversight, curriculum input, and academic governance from our global partners, Roots IVY ensures that students in Pakistan receive the same quality of education as those abroad.
Recognition by the HEC
Unlike unregulated foreign affiliations or diploma mills, every program we offer under TNE Type 1 and 2 is recognized and endorsed by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan—making our graduates eligible for further study, competitive employment, and public sector recognition.
No Compromise on Career Goals
Our graduates go on to attend Ivy League and Russell Group universities, secure roles in Fortune 500 companies, and lead change in their local and global communities. This isn’t just a claim—it’s a proven outcome of our academic model.

Why Roots IVY?

Since our inception, Roots IVY has been synonymous with global education in Pakistan. We pioneered international pathways long before TNE was formally structured in the country. Today, with our official Type 1 and Type 2 TNE approvals, we don’t just participate in the global education ecosystem—we help shape it.

Our strategic academic collaborations with institutions like the University of London, University of Portsmouth, University of Applied Sciences Europe, and Berlin School of Business and Innovation reflect this bold vision. Whether through direct degrees, articulation pathways, or international faculty-led modules, our students have the world at their doorstep—literally.

Setting a New Benchmark in Academic Excellence

At Roots IVY, we view education as more than just earning a degree—it’s about building futures. That’s why our academic ecosystem is designed to:

Foster critical thinking and innovation
Deliver industry-aligned programs with real-world learning outcomes
Encourage global citizenship through exposure, diversity, and values-driven leadership
Ensure academic integrity, transparency, and regulatory compliance at every level

This is education with purpose. This is excellence with structure. This is transnational education done right.

As Pakistan’s only dual-approved TNE institution, Roots IVY International College is proud to lead the way in transforming how students learn, grow, and connect with the world.
