What are the Excellence Programmes?
EUNICE Excellence Programmes are educational programmes that are offered in collaboration between two or more partner universities within EUNICE. The programmes – which are at bachelor’s, master’s or PhD level– aim to use joint resources to offer attractive and high-quality education that contributes to solving societal challenges to a wider spectra of students.
EUNICE’s degrees are designed to transcend traditional academic boundaries, fostering a customised model of education that integrates advanced services and knowledge with practical, real-world applications.
These joint programmes emphasize the development of key competencies identified through extensive consultations with academic and external stakeholders, ensuring that graduates are well-equipped to meet the demands of today’s rapidly evolving economy and society.

FAQs
How have others approached the development of their programmes?
The three programs that have made the most progress so far have taken slightly different paths, but they all share a step-by-step approach that includes double and multiple degrees moving towards joint degrees:
- Bio-inspired Chemistry: This program is built on synchronising and coordinating existing master’s programs at three institutions.
- IT for Smart & Sustainable Mobility: Started from scratch and developed new programs at three universities.
- Technoscience, Environment, and Society: Started from schratch, developed and tested modules, then applied for support to develop a joint program with financial backing from Erasmus Mundus.
What is the European label and degree?
The various regulations in our countries are a challenge that the European Commission has drawn attention to, and work is currently being done to get the member states to recognise each other’s education to a greater extent so that students can more easily take part in co-produced education from several higher education institutions within the framework of a joint degree.
The Commission’s goal is for it to result in a European label and degree. In 2025, there will be a call for financial support to develop programmes in the direction of a European degree. The Commission also offers help and support in the form of a Policy Lab for European universities working to develop common educational programs.
