Measure 1.2.3: Double or Joint Degrees

Award either a double degree with the partner university or a joint degree

Other Information:

R emark: A joint degree means one degree given jointly by two or more academic institutions where as double degree means that each partner university awards a degree. In the beginning of this type of collaboration, for legalistic reasons, it is often not possible to offer joint degrees if one of the partners is a “foreign” institution. In that case, a double degree is the solution to the problem. It is probable that within a few years most countries will allow for joint degrees due to the pressure created by increasing globalization of the higher education sector.
