What are Joint Programmes?
In Joint Programmes, curricula are developed and offered jointly by several international higher education institutions. This results in the advantage that a wider range of specialisation options can be offered through the participation of several higher education institutions.
This unique combination provides students with valuable insights into cutting-edge scientific approaches from different academic as well as (inter)national aspects. Students of a Joint Programme will spend their studies at at least two of the participating universities and in many cases you will also be awarded a jointly awarded degree (double/joint/multiple degree).
The advantages of Joint Programmes:
-
Joint Programmes bundle the expertise of several international partner universities
-
They offer the opportunity to specialize in complementary focus areas that cannot be covered in the local degree programmes
-
The unique combination allows you to look at cutting-edge scientific approaches from different academic as well as (inter)national aspects
-
You will not only benefit from the variety of specializations, but also from an intercultural experience in an international classroom
-
As a Student of a Joint Programme, you will complete your studies at at least two of the participating universities and receive a double, joint or multiple degree
