Format: Workshop
Open to: Academics & researchers, Admin. Staff
One of the goals of the Arqus European University Alliance is to develop Joint Programmes at all levels based on the results of the previous project period and on bottom-up proposals from partner universities.
Joint Programmes are offered jointly by two or more participating higher education institutions located in different countries. These jointly planned and developed study programmes lead to single national, double, multiple, or joint diplomas.
To support interested academic and administrative staff in this endeavor, the team of Arqus Learning Pathways has designed a series of training courses at basic and advanced levels and on various topics relevant to the design and implementation of joint programmes.
The first three training sessions are designed as modules that can be attended separately or consecutively and are open to academic and administrative staff on departmental and central levels who are interested in the design and the development of joint programmes but have no extensive experience in implementing them.
The training courses are held by experienced professionals from the field of joint programme implementation at Arqus partner universities. The sessions take place virtually on Zoom, access links and further information will be sent to all registered participants.
