YUFE Conference | Shaping the Future of European Education: inside the YUFE joint Bachelor

Are you interested in learning more about setting up a Joint Programme with multiple partners across Europe? Join us for an engaging event that brings together leading experts in the development, quality assurance, and accreditation of European Joint Programmes (EJPs), alongside representatives from national and European bodies.

Discover how YUFE built its Joint Bachelor with 10 partner institutions—using an open curriculum model and securing programme accreditation for a joint B.A./B.Sc. degree under the European Approach.

The conference will also explore the alignment of joint programmes with European Degree (label) criteria, and examine the evolving future of joint degrees in Europe.

This conference will be held on-site at the University of Antwerp. Seats are limited, so we encourage you to register soon.
