This paper explores the intersection of foreign investment law, comparative legal systems, and higher education policy in the context of cross-border partnerships between Saudi Arabia and Japan. Despite growing global interest in international joint programs, relatively little research has examined how regulatory frameworks, funding mechanisms, and institutional policies uniquely shape these collaborations. Through document analysis, stakeholder interviews, and comparative policy review, this study examines the legal and administrative processes underpinning partnership agreements, the effects of foreign investment regulations on program development, and the influence of cultural dynamics on governance and quality assurance. Particular attention is paid to how international scholarship students benefit from—or encounter challenges within—these joint initiatives. By identifying both success factors and ongoing barriers, the findings offer actionable insights for policymakers, academic leaders, and international investors seeking to optimize cross-border educational models. Ultimately, this research aims to strengthen the foundation for sustainable, high-quality joint programs that enrich global higher education landscapes.
