CHARM-EIGHT D3.1 - A revised Curriculum Design of the Master’s in Global Challenges for Sustainability

Abstract

The objective of this deliverable is “to review the existing Master’s to enhance quality and sustainable innovativeness of the programme (with ongoing delivery)”. The Master’s referred to is the CHARM-EU Master’s in Global Challenges for Sustainability, delivered by five CHARM-EU alliance partners, Trinity College Dublin, Eotvos Lorand University, University of Montpellier, University of Barcelona, and Utrecht University. Having commenced in September 2021, one full cohort of students completed this Master’s by February 2023, a second in February 2024, a third cohort in 2025, and a fourth cohort in 2026. This deliverable reports on the evaluation of this Master’s and is described within the proposal as: “All the previous evaluation obtained as an output of the previous project will be used for the review. The activities will include the exploration of alternative themes for the second semester (flexible phase) of the programme, exploration of an optional 30 EC internship addition and review of programmatic assessment. This review will follow quality review standards with particular alignment with ESGs (European Standards and Guidelines).” This review encompasses eleven discrete activities, which together, form a rich description, evaluation, and analysis of how the Master’s was delivered, and how it will be implemented in the future.
