European Campus – studying over borders

Borders are a thing of the past, also in the academic world. This is shown in the three-nation border triangle through Eucor –The European Campus. Five universities from Germany, France and Switzerland work on this together, to all intents and purposes, the first cross-border European University. This project multiplies the career chances of 117,000 students and 11,000 doctoral students. For example, a Bachelor´s degree in Basel and Master´s degree in Freiburg is possible. 1,000 different courses are offered with 15,000 lecturers and researchers who are part of this project. This is normal for the region, but it offers many more possibilities than other universities.
