„Dual-Degree Programs Are Gathering Steam” New York Times, March 2011

„Collaborative International Degrees Are on the Rise” Chronicle of Higher Education, Sept 2011

„A future trend will be towards the establishment of institutional

partnerships and joint-degree programs that will attract students

and researchers alike to the combined strengths of multiple

universities working in partnership.“

The Observatory on Borderless Higher Education: „Borderless 2011: Perspectives on the Future”

Definition?

„A review of the literature, university web pages, survey reports and

research articles shows a plethora of terms used to describe international

collaborative programs, such as double and joint degrees. These

terms include: double, multiple, tri-national, joint, integrated,

collaborative, international, consecutive, concurrent, co-tutelle,

overlapping, conjoint, parallel, simultaneous, and common

degrees. They mean different things to different people within and across

countries, thereby, causing mass confusion about the real meaning and use

of these terms….”

Sociedad del Conocimiento (RUSC). Vol. 8, No 2, pp. 297-312. UOC.

Herausforderungen: Akkreditierung

„Joint programmes could be subject to accreditation procedures by differentaccreditation organisations in each of the states where the joint programmeis offered. These distinct accreditation jurisdictions imply the potentialinvolvement of several accreditation organisations and therefore theexecution of different accreditation procedures.“

European Consortium for Accreditation: „Principles for Accreditation Procedures Regarding Joint Programmes“, 2007

ENQUA Survey 2012:

• Nur 19% befragten Agenturen „effective & successul in carrying out procedures“ für QA in transnationalen Programmen

• 2 von 28 Agenturen „reported relevant prac. on validation or assessment ofcollaborative and/or transnational degree programs“
