  10. European HE Area – new challenges for mobility Possible models • Short term stays (1-2 semesters); • Double degree programmes; • Joint diploma theses, joint doctoral dissertations • „joint degree“; • Bachelor's degree at domestic institution  Master's degree abroad (possibly doctoral degree abroad);

  11. Joint degrees – Berlin 2003 “They (Ministers) note that initiatives have been taken by Higher Education Institutions in various European countries to pool their academic resources and cultural traditions in order to promote the development of integrated study programmes and joint degrees at first, second and third level. Moreover, they stress the necessity of ensuring a substantial period of study abroad in joint degree programmes as well as proper provision for linguistic diversity and language learning, so that students may achieve their full potential for European identity, citizenship and employability. Ministers agree to engage at the national level to remove legal obstacles to the establishment and recognition of such degrees and to actively support the development and adequate quality assurance of integrated curricula leading to joint degrees.”(Berlin Communiqué, 19. September 2003)

  12. Joint degrees – Bergen 2005 “We (Ministers) note that 36 of the 45 participating countries have now ratified the Lisbon Recognition Convention. We urge those that have not already done so to ratify the Convention without delay. …………… We express support for the subsidiary texts to the Lisbon Recognition Convention and call upon all national authorities and other stakeholders to recognise joint degrees awarded in two or more countries in the EHEA.“ Stocktaking for 2007 „In particular, we (Ministers) shall look for progress in: ……….. the awarding and recognition of joint degrees, including at the doctorate level;” (Bergen Communiqué, 20 May 2005)
