CIVIS' joint education offer has moved during the CIVIS2 Erasmus+ project from early experimentation to a genuinely structured, institutionalised model. This catalogue presents the full portfolio: Two Bachelor's and 11 Master's programmes at every stage from newly approved to fully operational with enrolled cohorts, spanning disciplines and institutions across the Alliance.
Those 13 programmes openness doors for students and are carried by transnational teams of teachers across at least 3 CIVIS universities. Behind that growth sits a shared governance model: common selection procedures, consortium agreements, Programme Boards -including our students - and coordinated quality assurance, all designed to support cooperation while preserving each programme's academic identity. Accreditation remains one of the hardest part of the puzzle, but CIVIS's experience shows the Alliance is converging steadily on the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes as its shared reference point.

Early evidence already points to real impact: highly international, interdisciplinary and research-oriented learning environments for students, and new forms of co-teaching and curriculum co-design for staff.The consortia also aim to include Associate members in Africa wherever possible. The next phase is about consolidation, sustaining the financial model, simplifying accreditation, and scaling what already works.
