1 Joint Degree Mobility Master in Phytiatry

2 Internationalization of the University Tool to promote mobility Opportunity to conclude new or expand existing collaborations between HEIs and professional entities Promote reputation of the Institution abroad Internationalization of faculty Development of creativity Modernization of teaching Improvement of professional experience Added value due to teaching in a foreign language Publications/presentations in international conferences, partnership in new research consortia Opening to community Deviation from cliché since collaboration of multi national groups is required (Intercultural Education) Source of funding Within academic ethics

3 Attractive curriculum Quality assurance Identification of target groups Security of funding Promotion

4 Study in a new subject area Potential for employability Opportunities for mobility

5 Concrete learning outcomes Qualified teaching staff Necessary technical infrastructure Active participation of the academic/student community (i.e. Erasmus Student Networks) Ongoing evaluation and improvement

6 Where should they come from? Why select these candidates (e.g. certain geographic areas or crops) What are the subject study areas offered?

7 Administrative costs Teaching staff compensation Student Scholarships Technical support through Information and Communications Technology (ICT) (e-class platform, online application, web-based education etc) Students accommodation, insurance, welfare

8 Awareness of the program to the target groups Utilization of ICT (website, social media) Contribution of teaching staff via their collaborator networking Stressing out the opportunities offered by the program Underline educational excellence and community/cultural uniqueness of the program

9 The faculty members through the academic bodies Acceptance of the program and Administrative support

10 Collaboration of at least three EU HEIs Participation of at least four invited Professors Involvement of partner countries (e.g. Balkans), enterprises and research institutions is evaluated positively Necessary costs can be secured through EU funding scheme (e.g. Erasmus+ Joint Degree Mobility Master Program) Provision for administrative support (program accreditation, visa, transcript of records)

11 HEIs with the required qualifications Collaboration with the private sector to ensure internships and possible additional funding and future employment Partner complementarity (well defined role of each collaborator) Consensus of all participating Universities Governances (choice of collaborator with a previous long standing and fruitful cooperation is suggested)

12 Have an attractive title and acronym Offer clear learning outcomes Have future sustainability potential Operate in a legitimate timetable based on the work loads and the study subjects Be based on a funding plan that ensures its unobstructed flow Have quality assurance and accreditation tools (internal and external evaluation, auditing, etc) Award academic merits (ECTS, diploma supplement, transparency, sustainability, employability)

13 Legislation differences among various countries (visa, recognition of previous awards) Internal regulations differences amongst HEIs Development of an all new discrete curriculum compared with the existing MSc programs, which must be written and offered in English Possible national economic constrains create even more uncertainty REQUIRE Full support of the University Governance (School/Department)

14 Example of a good practice in a Joint Degree Mobility Master in Astronomy and Astrophysics

15 All students of each edition (intakes per cycle) start the first semester together to have a common starting point. This prepares them for the more specialized courses of the next semesters. Thus they learn to work as a team. They are co-supervised by Professors of two different Universities. So, they are benefitted by the scientific knowledge of two different scientists while cooperations and publications are developed between the collaborating parties.

16 It is an attractive study area since it is unique in its kind It is targeted and can recruit students from the Mediterranean basin and the Balkans It has the potential to forming a strong consortium due to previous scientific collaborations with other European countries and can be facilitated by the experience that AUA has acquired from the successful implementation of the European Program Tempus in Plant Medicine with Universities from neighboring countries (Italy, Balkans) It stands high funding possibilities through Erasmus+ Program It ensures employability for its graduates since it is structured on increased participation of enterprises of related disciplines.
