Joint degrees
Establishing joint degrees consists of far more than entering into a contract. It involves developing a new study programme and a new arena for knowledge.
The primary objective of establishing joint degrees should be to improve the quality of the education and research the degree encompasses. The result of two or more institutions joining forces to offer a study programme should be a programme of a higher academic standard than the institutions would achieve separately.
The Division of Student Affairs can advise and inform academic and administrative staff considering entering into this kind of cooperation.
