Nordic Master programme
Nordic Master is a funding programme for joint
Nordic programmes at Master’s level. This Nordic Council of Ministers
initiative supports both the Master’s programmes themselves and their students’
Nordic mobility within the higher education institutions participating in the
Master’s programme in question. There will be no new Calls for Proposals in Nordic Master.
The objectives of the programme are to
offer funding and support for joint Master’s programmes based on research, excellence and high quality
develop and facilitate cooperation between higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Nordic Region through solving hindrances and challenges in organising joint programmes
internationalise higher education in the Nordic Region through a collaboration of Nordic and non-Nordic students from Europe and beyond
develop collaboration between HEIs, industry and the labour market in the Nordic Region
reach good and measurable results in students’ learning outcomes (knowledge, competences, skills)
help students and other participants to create useful networks
support joint programmes that are research-based and offer good opportunities for graduates to careers in research as well as in non-academic working life.
The Nordic Master programme was piloted during 2007–2014 and was made permanent in 2015. The Nordic Council of Ministers has decided that there will be no new calls for proposals and the call 2020 was the last one. The programme is administered by Finnish National Agency for Education.
