A section on how international education works: university partnerships, joint programmes and the recognition of degrees.
We look at the legal side — what the status of a degree depends on, and what the mode of study means to an employer and to a government — and at the practical one: how the curricula of two universities are aligned and what a double degree is in substance rather than in name.
Written for those considering study abroad who want to know in advance which questions to put to an admissions office.
