THEME: COLLABORATIVE EUROPE

Joint and collaborative programmes have become commonplace in international higher education, and since 2019, Europe has seen new forms of collaborative programmes established under the European Universities Initiative. Now considered to be one of the bedrocks of internationalisation in higher education, joint and collaborative programmes nevertheless raise important questions about collaboration at course level across borders: How widespread are such programmes, how popular are they with students, and are academic staff keen to participate in course development and delivery? Have institutions and their accrediting bodies found the right ways to award degrees across national jurisdictions? This issue of Forum addresses these and other questions, offering insights into the ways in which institutions are currently framing joint and collaborative programmes in their international strategies.
