European Alliance - ARQUS

The Arqus European University Alliance was formally established in Brussels on 27 November 2018 when the rectors and presidents of our member institutions signed a Memorandum of Understanding in order to strengthen the cooperative links which already exist between and among us.

Arqus Joint Master’s Programmes reinforce the commitment of the Alliance to student-centered and research-based learning through joint and flexible curricula. The design of the programmes has involved a common perspective of the Arqus universities on the curriculum and its implementation as well as on the evaluation and accreditation procedures and processes.

The Arqus R&I project aimed to enhance the research and innovation dimension of the Alliance’s activities and to address current global societal challenges through intensified joint research, characterised by the pursuit of excellence, openness, transparency and effective engagement with society.

The Arqus Research & Innovation project fostered scientific cooperation within the Alliance, seeking synergies between the education, research and innovation dimensions of Arqus.

Arqus provides career prospects for students and researchers through various programs, including joint master's degrees with specific career tracks like Cybersecurity, and opportunities beyond academia in sectors like industry, government, consulting, and non-profits. The alliance also offers resources like the PhD Career Week and Mentoring Programs to support career development both within and outside of academia.
