GoalCreating the most competitive MSc Programmes in Europe – basis for Erasmus Mundus applications.
Student Exchange Database
All exchange students in mobility from or to a CLUSTER university are entitled to be registered in the database.
Students enter the data, home university validates them.
Curriculum vitae, academic results,
data on mobility….
Data visible to companies for recruitment
Mutual and Automatic Recognition of degrees
CLUSTER Dual Master joint certificate signed by
the two Rectors
No prolongation of the studies is required and no paperwork added. Students keep paying tuition fees at the home universityThesis work can be performed at a third university or in a companyTwo degrees are delivered simultaneously
Dual MastersA PROFOUND CHANGE TO ENGINEERING EDUCATION
Students spend one academic year in their home CLUSTER university and one year in a second CLUSTER university. Specific Agreements are signed between couple of universities in the different field.
