Internationalisation of existing degree programmes
Information for programme directors
Those responsible for degree programmes need a tool with which they can identify the needs (problems/challenges) and potential (goals/opportunities) of their degree programme - and see which internationalisation measures (with or without changes to the statutes) are appropriate. Enclosed you will find a checklist and an analysis matrix that can be used for initial internal considerations and discussions with the degree programme development team.
