  5. Diversity? • Covering 4 scientific areas; • 1 course involving third country HEI but not awarding degree; • Various types of degrees awarded; • Courses with 60, 90 and 120 ECTS; • Courses with problems but also successful ones; • 16 European countries and 2 third countries; • Only 1 course coordinated by a Bridge partner; • 4 selected in phase 1 of EM (3 renewed) and 1 selected in phase 2.
