ERASMUS MUNDUS JOINT MASTER DEGREE WHAT ARE THE AIMS OF AN ERASMUS MUNDUS JOINT MASTER DEGREE? Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees (EMJMD) aim to: foster excellence, quality improvements, innovation, excellence and internationalisation in higher education institutions (HEI); increase the quality and the attractiveness of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and supporting the EU's external action in the higher education field, by offering full degree scholarships to the best Master students worldwide; improve the level of competences and skills of Master graduates, and in particular the relevance of the Joint Masters for the labour market, through an increased involvement of employers. In this regard, EMJMDs are expected to contribute to the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy and of the Education and Training strategic framework 2020 (ET2020), including the corresponding benchmarks established in those policies. EMJMDs will continue and strengthen the successful experience initiated with the Erasmus Mundus Master Courses (EMMCs) in raising the attractiveness of the EHEA worldwide and demonstrating the excellence and high level of integration of the joint study programmes delivered by European HEIs. 7
E+ JMD WHAT IS AN ERASMUS MUNDUS JOINT MASTER DEGREE? An Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) is a high-level integrated international study programme of 60, 90 or 120 ECTS credits, delivered by an international consortium of HEIs from different countries Their specificity lies in their high integration/"jointness" and the excellent academic content and methodology they offer. All participating HEIs established in a Programme Country must be Master degree-awarding institutions and the corresponding Master certificate - covering the entire study programme of the EMJMD - must be fully recognised by the competent national authorities in the countries where these HEIs are established. The successful completion of the joint Master programme must lead to the award of either a joint degree (i.e. one single diploma issued on behalf of at least two higher education institutions from different Programme Countries and fully recognised in these countries) or multiple degrees (i.e. at least two diplomas issued by two higher education institutions from different Programme Countries and fully recognised in these countries). If national legislation allows, joint degrees are encouraged, as they represent a full integration of the learning and teaching process. 8
Joint Master Degrees Implementation of and support to integrated study programmes at masters level, resulting in the delivery of a double, multiple or joint degree by an international consortium of universities The participation of excellent master students mainly from non-participating countries, through the award of high level scholarships. 9
Endring av vektlegging Større vekt på relevans generelt Større vekt på arbeidslivsrelevans => mer vekt på deltakelse fra arbeidsliv/social partners etc Større vekt på Impact, dvs spredning av erfaringer Større vekt på bærekraftighet (sustainability), dvs evnen til å stå på egne bein etter prosjektperiodens utløp Kortere støtteperiode, men støtte i forberedelsesåret også [ Katalogen for prosjekter etter utløp av prosjektperioden er avviklet] 10
Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees Institutional commitment and sustainability: HEI commitment: ECHE HEIs from partner countries must sign up to the principles of ECHE.
