Bursa » Masters Programme Crossways in Cultural Narrative

Selected and supported by the European Commission, the Masters Programme Crossways in Cultural Narratives offers an eclectic integrated programme feeding on successful programmes run locally in the European universities of the Consortium.

The Masters programme is accessible to both European and non-European students, and offers EU scholarships, mobility allowances and other advantages. The Crossways in Cultural Narratives Master students follow a mobile study itinerary over 2 years. They study in 2 or 3 European universities chosen from among the 10 universities making up the Crossways Consortium. Students spend the 2nd and 3rd semesters in the SAME university, and the 1st and 4th semesters in TWO other universities of the Consortium.

The Final Crossways Master Degree takes the form of a multiple degree, which means

• one Diploma Supplement issued by the coordinating university and listing all your academic achievements during the programme in accordance with the Bologna standards
• three fully-recognized “national” Master degree certificates issued by the universities where you have studied (as associate members, UNER and UIA deliver certificates of study, but not degrees)
• a Crossways parchment.

The programme will suit you if:

1. you are looking to understand and explore European languages, society and culture in depth; and want to acquire a higher degree certifying a well-trained mind, so as to pursue a career relating to, or interacting with, Europe, in the political, cultural or administrative fields
2. if you are interested in going on from your Masters to Doctoral research, prior to pursuing a career in Higher Education in your own country/in Europe.
