Abstract
In this chapter I provide a glimpse into the ‘lived reality’ of staff and students involved in joint Masters degrees offered in two countries. The programmes I discuss required students studying Business – specifically, Marketing Communications, Tourism and Finance – to study in both London, United Kingdom (UK) and the Poitou region of France.
