Starting your academic journey in Germany is an exciting opportunity, thanks to its outstanding education and lively culture. However, the financial aspect may pose a challenge for many.

🧑🏽🎓Vocational education is often undervalued compared to traditional academic paths. I witnessed this first-hand in Greece working on educational programmes bridging the gap between public universities and technical colleges. I am aware that the debate is still ongoing in many other EU countries, including the Netherlands. But these old-school perceptions are thankfully changing! 🌟 The fact that Albeda mbo – one of the largest vocational schools in the greater Rotterdam region – was invited to address the Erasmus University Rotterdam community during the Opening of the Academic Year 2024-25 was very uplifting. 🌎 In the presence of the Dutch Minister of Education and hundreds of students, staff, and alumni of EUR, Albeda Executive Board member Simone Fredriksz highlighted how the collaboration between our two institutions supports economic growth, improves social mobility, enhances career opportunities, and fosters innovation for everyone involved. 🛳️ Rotterdam is well-known for its down-to-earth and can-do mentality. This is evident in the way people here do business but also in the way academic research is conducted. Many of us are glad to be part of “a city of thinkers and doers” whose impact transcends not only the borders of the country but also breaks down stereotypes concerning education.

🗣️"International, European joint degrees and the #EuropeanDegree are important developments for us in Switzerland, as they relate not only to EU member states, but to the entire European Higher Education Area." 🎓🌍Una Europa has shaped the European Commission's proposal for a #EuropeanDegree by coordinating the ED-AFFICHE project, which brought together 51 #highereducation institutions across 22 countries to identify existing hurdles to creating #jointdegrees in Europe and recommend ways to overcome them. Our contribution to ED-AFFICHE drew on our own experience of building joint degrees such as the Una Europa Joint Bachelor's in #EuropeanStudies and upcoming Joint Bachelor's in #Sustainability. 🇨🇭Our partner University of Zurich played a proactive role in ED-AFFICHE, working alongside Université de Genève of 4EU+ Alliance to bring the Swiss perspective on the European Degree and ensure that future plans can be implemented across the European Higher Education Area as a whole. 🤔Curious to learn more about Switzerland's involvement in shaping the European Degree? Annika Martin from University of Zurich's Teaching Development Office shared insights into the ED-AFFICHE project and Una Europa's experience building joint degrees in a recent interview with the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation SERI. 💬Hear from Annika: https://lnkd.in/gmE6yadv #WeAreUnaEuropa #UniversityOfTheFuture #EuropeanUniversities #ErasmusPlus
