Clusters

Clusters are thematic groups that connect programmes, research activities, and innovation initiatives across the alliance. By structuring knowledge and aligning academic content across member institutions, clusters are fundamental tools for harmonizing curricula, fostering interdisciplinarity, and enabling student mobility. Indeed, they ensure that EUt+ students gain the same knowledge regardless of the campus where they studied, which opens mobilities opportunities and students can benefit from each campus' expertise while getting a real multicultural experience.

Clusters play a central role in building the EUt+ European Degree. They ensure coherence and compatibility between different national systems, create shared academic pathways, and strengthen the integration of common learning outcomes. Through clusters, EUt+ organizes its educational offer around common themes, making the European Degree a concrete and achievable reality, and reinforcing the mission of creating a unified, human-centered European University.

Therefore, each cluster defines the final learning outcome of the degree they are preparing. EUt+ has several clusters at both Bachelor and Master level, as follows:

+ BACHELOR LEVEL
