HOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE JDD

I am honoured to be invited to comment on your initiative from the perspective of international recognition of qualifications. Let me start by stating that such an initiative of setting up a joint degree and joint diploma deserves all possible encouragement. It is an example of recognition in practice in its finest form, from which student mobility in Europe can only benefit. I can whole-heartedly support the conclusion of the Italian NARIC that is mentioned in the letter and endorse the proposed procedure. In my opinion it contains the elements necessary from the point of view of foreign credential evaluators or admissions officers. Divis, Jindra, Dutch NARIC, September 2003
