Practical Examples

Funding

Intensity

The entire programme is offered jointly with a consortium of international partners. The curriculum is built in such a way that students can spend one or more term(s) at a partner institution abroad. You can enter into agreements with one or more partner institutions that lead to a double degree, but each institution still offers the programme(s) separately as well. In this case, too, students spend one or more term(s) at one of the partner institutions in the consortium.

Setting up a joint programme is an intensive process. If you are considering this, please get in touch with eu-educationprojects@ugent.be. Be sure to involve all the relevant stakeholders: the Programme Commitee, the Quality Assurance Committee, the Faculty Committee for Internationalisation, the Education Department, and the University Management. Also keep in mind the applicable external processes of approval.

Joint Programmes

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Economics of Globalisation and European Integration (EGEI) prepares students for an international career in the public or private sector. Students have to spend at least two terms in two different EU countries. The last term contains a work placement and a Master's dissertation.

Joint Programmes & Double Degrees

The two-year international Master in Sustainable Drug Discovery (S-DISCO) is preceded by an orientational summer school at Ghent University. Students spend the first term at Ghent University to acquire the basics of ‘drug discovery’. Afterwards, the more in-depth terms are organised in Gdańsk and Lille or Groningen, respectively. In the last term, the students work on their Master's dissertation, preferably in collaboration with an international (non-) academic partner.

Joint Programmes & Double Degrees

The international joint Master's programme IMBRSea is organised by eleven European universities and co-ordinated by Ghent University. Mobility takes centre stage: students take classes on location at at least two different universities in the consortium. Since the pandemic, the programme contains an online term as a fully-fledged alternative parallel to the on-site offer.
