European degrees: Up-to-date joint programmes with a strong mobility component
A European degree offers students the opportunity to study across EU countries and benefit from a student-centred learning experience that includes skills vital for navigating the green and digital transition. Rooted in the recognition that existing regulations often hinder cross-border collaboration, the European degree initiative also seeks to dismantle obstacles that institutions currently face when setting up joint programmes.
The proposal for a European degree aims to encourage the development of study programmes that are highly attractive to students and relevant to the labour market, and at the same time to cut red tape for institutions. The proposal is accompanied by new recommendations to further develop the European quality assurance and recognition system – these will be the focus of the next weeks.
