Methods: Project has started in 2016 supported by European Union as Erasmus + KA2 project. A total of six universities participated in the project (3 from Europe, 3 from Jordan). The mission of the Hacettepe University was to develop the curriculum. The Bologna process and European quality and lifelong learning standards and Jordan’s National Qualifications were utilized. The 8-step process, including needs analysis, profiling, structure of the program, mobility, learning-teaching measurement methodology, admission requirements, degree of master’s thesis, management and resources, was applied with common consensus. Eight mandatory and 15 elective courses a total of 120 ECTS were established. The digital teaching platform were created under the leadership of Portugal, while the quality processes were monitored by England. In 2017, 18 students enrolled in the program. Lecturers from all countries participated in the lessons. The theoretical education were given via the online system and practical education were given in Jordan face to face. Clinical practice training was done in three European countries. Results: European Union audits resulted in success. Application labs were created. The program was accredited by the Jordanian Higher Education Institution. Conclusion: A new and multidisciplinary program which has never been developed according to Bologna and EQF in Jordan. This program is original for the country and the Middle East. International cooperation between countries was achieved.
- A partnership for the development of occupational therapy in MozambiquePublication . Martins, SílviaThis paper describes an international partnership that was established for the purpose of setting up the first occupational therapy educational programme in Mozambique. The author is a lecturer at the Escola Superior de Saúde do Alcoitão in Portugal, one of the partners. She was involved in the process of developing and delivering the occupational therapy programme at the Instituto Superior de Ciências da Saúde, in Mozambique, with the support of the Ministério da Saúde de Moçambique. The case study demonstrates that such international projects should be open to and allow for sharing, taking into account cultural perspectives. It is essential to its sustainability that the local university takes ownership of a new developing education programme.
