Study subjects fall into two parts: already existing in the partners’ study programs, they have to be

new ones

Subjects have to be created by international teachers team, e.g. each partner institution will lead development of one subject and assign one teacher for developing other subjects. This organization will add strong

European Nordic-Baltic dimension for the study subjects

For quality assurance all study subjects (adopted and new developed) have to be approved by official bodies at partners’ institution (by units which implements study program, Boards of Faculty and University

units (Directorates)
