About European Degrees

European Degrees are one of the flagship activities of the European Universities, the European Commission’s initiative to form transnational alliances of higher education institutions from across the EU that share a long-term strategy and promote European values and identity.

Beyond conventional higher education cooperation, European degrees envisages a concept of universities where students can “design their own flexible curricula, leading to a European degree”.
