Transforming Curricula
Led by Jean Monnet University
Towards Collaborative Education
We focus on transforming curricula to improve our educational offerings through innovative and flexible approaches.
The Transforming Curricula Joint Strategy aims at:
- designing joint programmes to offer students educational opportunities across T4EU universities with new learning experiences,
- implementing seamless vertical mobilities to enable smooth transitions between partner universities,
- adopting a unified approach to micro-credentials to ensure consistent and common recognition of skills and achievements.
What we do
We aim to develop joint study programmes at the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels, involving collaboration between at least two partner institutions. Several workshops have been organised to inform partners about joint programmes that are either already launched or still in development between our universities. These sessions addressed the challenges of cooperation on joint programmes and presented the toolbox developed with T4EU partners, which includes all the necessary resources for setting up joint programmes between our universities.
The goal is to foster better mutual understanding and discuss the implementation of the European degree. We have also organised info sessions to present the outcomes within, including guidelines for implementing seamless vertical mobilities and an approach to micro-credentials.
Key tasks
Create joint curricula
One of the major goals is to develop joint study programmes at the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels, fostering collaboration between at least two partner institutions.

Recognition schemes for seamless and vertical mobility
Our goal is to implement the so-called Mobility Windows between partners, aiming to achieve 50% student mobility within the T4EU Alliance. The other goal is fostering vertical mobility, ensuring smooth transitions between study levels across partner institutions. These initiatives aim to ease the transition from one study level to the next, enabling automatic transitions between programmes and establishing rules and guidelines that promote diversity, complementarity, and bilateral cooperation.
Joint Strategy on Microcredentials
The T4EU Joint Strategy on Microcredentials (MC) outlines the main elements for elaborating T4EU MC offerings. It is to ensure that the joint T4EU Alliance MC courses/programmes are in line with the 10 EU-adopted principles of quality, transparency, relevance, valid assessment, learning pathways, recognition, portable, learner-centred, authentic, information and guidance.

We are proud of
Collaboration on joint programmes
We have created a dedicated team of experts, and several meetings were organised; they were focused on defining shared goals and outlining the methodology. We developed a specialised toolbox to provide a framework for planning, designing, and implementing joint programmes within the T4EU Alliance. It focuses on joint programmes that lead to Joint/Double/Multiple Degrees offered by various higher education institutions and includes information on the European Degree Type of event.
Our 3 workshops gathered 50 participants each, including academic administrators, faculty members, legal advisors, accreditation professionals, and all the participants from academies and faculties of the T4EU Alliance working on the development and management of joint programmes.
BA Tracks
Transform4Europe is proud to announce that 512 students have enrolled in the Bachelor Tracks for the autumn semester 2024/25. With 55 courses offered by six universities, the common course catalogue highlights the strong collaboration within the Alliance. Building on this success, we aim to further develop and expand the catalogue by offering even more courses across six subject areas, providing students with a broader and more enriching learning experience.

Our remarks for the future:
- online and on-site workshops to continue the collaboration on joint programmes,
- an event bringing together all the stakeholders working on related activities (including rectors for education; academics and administrative staff),
- developing a portfolio of microcredential courses and programmes in T4EU universities.
