Joint Degree in Political Geography

2026-07-22

The goal of the proposed project is to develop a new, innovative, high-standard, integrated transnational Joint Master Degree Programme in Political Geography, as well as to enhance the capacities of the involved institutions (the University of Ostrava, the Eötvös Loránd University, the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, and the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv) to modernize and internationalize their curricula and teaching practices. The specific objectives of the proposed project are: (1) To develop a fully integrated curriculum delivered by the four involved universities, which will lead to a joint degree, include compulsory physical mobility for all recruited students, and aim at recruiting excellent students worldwide; (2) To develop a normative and procedural framework of the Joint Degree Programme; (3) To launch an accreditation process at the involved institutions. The members of the project team will work in thematically defined working groups, in which they will address every single aspect necessary for designing and running the Joint Degree Programme. The main outputs of the project will be (1) the Partnership Agreement, which will stipulate core rules and procedures of inter-institutional cooperation; (2) the Accreditation Files which will be submitted to respective accreditation bodies; (3) the Student Agreement which will provide extensive information on rights and obligations of both the Consortium and the students; (4) the Programme Conduct Manual, which will be a detailed guiding document towards successful realization of the programme and will address practical steps in admission, internal evaluation, work with alumni, marketing strategy, etc.; (5) the programme website. The previously mentioned outputs will result into launching the accreditation processes in the four involved institutions and eventually applying for Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters programme.
