  • Joint European Master Degrees: Between Reality and Wishful Thinking

    Karen M. Lauridsen, Karen K. Zethsen

    The article presents a critical assessment of the concept of joint degrees and its implementation in the European Higher Education Area. It outlines the rationale behind and the background for a project developing and piloting a European Master in Translation, exploiting the areas of excellence at the participating higher education institutions and language industry partners, and developing a programme that was not necessarily taught in full at any one institution, but which allowed students to follow course modules on site or online at different universities. However, in practice, this format encountered insurmountable technical barriers which have prevented the participating institutions from launching the programme as originally planned. The obstacles encountered are outlined and possible solutions discussed.
