The carrying out of the Joint Degree Programmes as part of the Bologna Process is an important instrument in the creation of a Common European Educational Area. By co-operations on Joint Degree Programmes, joint quality assurance as well as mutual recognition of academic degrees and qualifications are increasingly ensured. In addition, Joint Degrees contribute to more transparency and to bringing the European study programme systems into line with each other, promote student and teaching staff mobility and increase the international "employability" of graduates. Besides the strengthening of the European and international dimension of the study programmes, the increase in the attractiveness of the European educational area is also of particular importance.
With these Joint Degree Programmes the participating universities endeavour to point the way ahead on an international level and to position themselves outstandingly in the field of education.
By supporting the development of Joint Degree Programmes via the funds of the "Zukunftsfonds Steiermark" the province of Styria proves an important promoter of university education in the region.
