On 24 November 2025, the Institute for Sociological, Political and Juridical Research (ISPJR) at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje (UKIM) organized an online working meeting within the framework of the JoPScip project entitled “Design and Accreditation of Joint Study Programmes: Lessons from the Joint Master in Political Science – Integration and Governance.”
The meeting presented the process of developing, implementing, and accrediting joint study programmes within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), using the Joint MA Programme in Political Science – Integration and Governance (PoSIG) as a practical example of international academic cooperation.
Participants discussed key stages of programme design, curriculum development, quality assurance, and external accreditation, while sharing experiences and lessons learned throughout the implementation of the JoPScip project. The event provided a valuable platform for exchanging good practices and supporting higher education institutions interested in developing internationally recognised joint degree programmes.
