Profile Global Results Background
DD developed according to the needs of the providers Often no feedback from the students Often no correlation with the needs of the employers DD promoted but no tools to provide the students with a clear picture on the impact Existing studies are incomplete (focusing on other areas, on one type of DD only, on mobility only, not comparative, not combining qualitative and quantitative analysis, not bringing together all the stakeholders, not producing guidelines for future use)

EU Policy Priorities
Strengthening quality through mobility and cross-border cooperation
Improving the quality and relevance of higher education
Definitions DOUBLE DEGREE used as a general term covering all the forms of
academic cooperation at any level leading to the deliverance of a programme with embedded mobility offered jointly by at least
two HEI
Regardless of the type of diploma(s) issued: joint, double, multiple…
No ambition to define the different typologies
In the future the official Bologna definitions should be adopted.
1) Joint Degrees 2) Multiple Degrees
Joint Programmes should be the single denomination to identify
collectively all the typologies
Specific Objective
“Evaluation of the added value of double degree
programmes from a multi-stakeholder
perspective in order to reform the
existing programmes and create new
ones according to a new set of
guidelines.”

Conclusions
Profile Global Results General Conclusions - 1
DD analyzed are highly appreciated by the graduates DD graduates are more satisfied about the
programme than other groups The quality level has been stable over the past
year DD graduates earn more than their peers
Two main categories of programmes:
compatibility vs complementarity
Profile Global Results General Conclusions - 2
• Impact analysis often lacking, incomplete or biased
• There are many misconceptions still in place
• Nature of the programme must be clear when designing and when recruiting
• Better communication towards all the target groups on the actual impact needed
• Focused Marketing approach for DD vs exchange
Profile Global Results General Conclusions - 3
• Specific support and services and support for the category
• Companies seek for DD profiles without realizing it
• Both students and employers favor an active involvement of companies in all phases (curriculum design, teaching with credits, definition of research topics, hosting mandatory internships)
• DD+ is the next step: creation of newly designed DD programmes based on the results and recommendations of this project
Profile Global Results Exploitation of results
1) Quantitative analysis used to picture what a DD graduate is for marketing and recruitment (not necessarily more students but the right ones: informed decision). A result is also to prevent students from applying for the wrong reasons. Correct the recruitment process by addressing the misperceptions.
2) Address misperceptions of companies by improving communication about the profile and skills of DD graduates
3) Create more efficient programmes (or reform the existing ones) in terms of student/industry needs, expectations and employability aspects
Profile Global Results Follow up: and now what…?
Follow up SP project to address: • A comparative analysis for the most recent cohorts of graduates
only: By field of study (perhaps extending also to Medicine and
Business studies) By country By type of programme (JP 1+1, DD 1+1,5, TIME, EMJMD, EIT
JM,..) • Covering new countries (F, UK, FI, Estern Europe, DK and hopefully
already non-EU partners) • Actually create a number of new DD programmes based on the
results of REDEEM with full involvement of companies in all the phases
Capacity building project(s) for the exploitation of the results in other regions of the world:
• Adapt the results according to the local context (labour market, academic approaches and structures, student mentality)
• Focus on how to create efficient DD between EU universities and Universities from those regions
