It also develops skills in project management and an awareness of financing, budgeting and marketing. Hands-on experience is central to the programme and project-based methodologies are used. Mobility is a key feature of the programme: staff travel between universities in the first semester and students study in partner universities in the second. In the third and fourth semester students return to their home university where they apply the skills acquired and develop project and thesis work.
