A Joint degree programme is an integrated academic pathway developed and delivered collaboratively by a consortium of universities located in different countries. Unlike traditional exchange programmes, a Joint degree results in a single diploma jointly awarded by all participating institutions and legally recognised in each partner country. This format offers students a truly international educational experience by combining shared curriculum design, coordinated teaching, and cross-border quality assurance. 

At the department of Management (DiPSA) at the university of Bergamo, Joint degree programmes represent a strategic investment in interdisciplinary education, academic innovation, and global employability. Students gain the opportunity to study in multiple European universities, engage with diverse academic cultures, and develop professional skills relevant to international markets. Joint degrees are particularly suited to students who aim to build a career in multinational environments, international consultancy, or academia.
