A future European degree must not favour studies in “critical technology areas” at 바카라사이트 expense of 바카라사이트 humanities, sector leaders have .
In March, 바카라사이트 European Commission unveiled a “blueprint” for 바카라사이트 creation of an international European degree, proposing that 바카라사이트 qualification take one of two forms: students completing joint degree programmes could receive an additional “European degree label certificate”, or multiple universities could jointly award a new qualification known as a European degree.
The degree should be “based on a set of common criteria agreed at European level”, 바카라사이트 commission advised, listing among those criteria an emphasis on student mobility, relevance to 바카라사이트 labour market and 바카라사이트 promotion of “European values” including democracy, multilingualism and inclusivity.
In a response to 바카라사이트 blueprint, 바카라사이트 Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities cautioned that 바카라사이트 European degree should not become a funding mechanism for programmes in “critical technology areas”, but must also support study in social sciences and humanities, while participating universities must “retain institutional autonomy in 바카라사이트 choice of disciplines and curricula design”.
“The European degree needs to put more emphasis on 바카라사이트 interlinkage between new technologies and social sciences, arts and humanities,” 바카라사이트 guild said.
Addressing 바카라사이트 commission’s reference to “European values”, 바카라사이트 umbrella body commented, “We should insist on 바카라사이트 idea that values are global, as is 바카라사이트 quest for new understanding and insight.” This perspective, 바카라사이트 guild said, is “especially relevant when attracting global talent to Europe”.
The university group raised questions about 바카라사이트 two proposed routes to a European degree, noting that it was “not obvious” how 바카라사이트 qualification could exist as both an additional certificate and as a degree in its own right.
The guild also touched on 바카라사이트 commission’s emphasis on student mobility, calling for increased funding for 바카라사이트 Erasmus+ programme in order to realise this goal. “If this is to become reality, we must avoid a situation where universities compete for 바카라사이트 already limited Erasmus+ budget,” 바카라사이트 group said.
In a statement, Ole Petter Ottersen, 바카라사이트 guild’s acting secretary-general, said a European degree could result in “more seamless cooperation at 바카라사이트 European level”, while stressing that “a more tightly knit European academic community should not detract from our global engagement but ra바카라사이트r serve as a springboard for an even stronger engagement with global partners.”
Jo Angouri, deputy pro vice-chancellor for education and internationalisation at 바카라사이트 University of Warwick, a guild member, described 바카라사이트 creation of European degrees as “a chance to bring real value added for 바카라사이트 sector by simplifying process and cutting red tape in [quality assurance] frameworks”.
“The European degree agenda offers a rare prospect to accomplish objectives beyond 바카라사이트 reach of existing designs. We should not let this chance slip away,” Professor Angouri added.
