All EMERGE partner universities are introducing so-called European Pathways, which are based on participatory and community-oriented teaching methods, while placing a strong emphasis on resilience, multilingualism and cultural diversity. At Europa-Universität Flensburg, the European Pathway will be implemented in the Bachelor’s degree programme in Educational Sciences from the autumn semester 2026/27 onwards.
In addition, the partner universities are expanding their course offerings for alliance students and developing transnational formats, particularly in the areas of Challenge-Based Learning and Service-Based Learning.
Students can take part in interdisciplinary study programmes and attend courses at partner universities both online and in person. Through close cooperation with local organisations, companies and schools, they have the opportunity to complete internships and write their dissertations in collaboration with these stakeholders. Creating a practice-oriented learning environment supports students in developing practical skills and problem-solving competences to address the specific challenges of European peripheral regions with limited industrial infrastructure. At the same time, they act as multipliers for the alliance within their regions and local communities.
Within the European university alliance EMERGE, a range of professional development and support opportunities is offered for teaching staff, for example in the areas of inclusion, interculturality, Challenge-Based Learning and Service-Based Learning, as well as digital teaching formats.
