The Alexandru Ioan Cuza University is involved in a European Erasmus Mundus project which aims at developing, by 2010, a handbook of good practice in the administration and management of joint degree networks. The project, which involves 18 partners from 11 countries, is coordinated by the University of Bologna.
Within this Erasmus Mundus project, our university will contribute to identifying, at network level, the financial aspects ofjoint degrees and the doctoral joint diplomas with non-EU partners. The two project components will be coordinated by Professor Marin FOTACHE, from the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration.
The project will have a great impact upon the improvement of the quality of the higher education institutions, its results being disseminated through institutional and student association networks.
The goal of the network is to improve the capacity of HEIs to manage and implement joind degrees at master and doctoral level with EU and non-EU partners.
Alexandru Ioan Cuza University is already involved in joint programs together with other European and non-European universities. At the end of the study period, the partner universities issue double diplomas.
At the Faculty of Physics, for instance, there is a joint doctoral program with Shizuoka University from Japan. At master level, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University is continually developing several partnerships with universities from France, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and others.
