One of the goals of the Arqus European University Alliance is to develop Joint Programmes at all levels. The 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 two 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 take place virtually on Zoom, and are held by experienced professionals from the field of joint programmes implementation at Arqus partner universities:
Module 1: Joint Programmes: A very initial introduction to the why and how
Monday, December 18, 2023, 1pm – 2.30pm (CET)
Participants will be introduced to the concept of joint programmes focusing on their rationale and motivation to set them up. Terminology like joint, double or multiple degrees will be investigated to enable participants to distinguish between several traditions and common (mis)understandings of joint programmes. First steps such as identifying partner institutions and main elements of joint programmes will be presented to lay the ground for participation in module 2.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this module participants will:
Understand why jp are of benefit to institutions and individuals in the context of internationalizing of the curricula
Be able to distinguish different terminology approaches towards jp
Know key aspects of how to choose partner institutions

Module 2: Joint Programmes: Preparing the grounds for a successful programme implementation
