This article aims to offer practical suggestions to those involved in developing or managing joint programmes offered by institutions in different countries and that lead to a joint or multiple degree. The article is based on a new reference guide called Joint programmes from A to Z: a reference guide for practitioners. This article tries to answer practical questions such as: How do you approach joint programme development? How do you manage a joint programme? What are the most crucial aspects that you need to take into account, and at what stage?
