Euroculture Programme at Osaka University: A Post-Pandemic Case Study of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD)

บทคัดย่อ

This study investigates the implementation of the Euroculture EMJMD programme at Osaka University from 2022 to 2024, focusing on quality assurance and student satisfaction in the post-COVID-19 recovery period. The research employs a case study approach using student course evaluations (n=12) across seven dimensions, including course relevance, teaching quality, and field trip alignment. Results indicate generally positive feedback, particularly in teaching techniques and field trip relevance, but identify areas for improvement in course content alignment and feedback practices. The small sample size and institution-specific focus may limit generalizability. Recommendations include curriculum revisions, enhanced instructor training, and streamlined workload management to meet the expectations of a diverse student cohort. This is among the first post-pandemic analyses of an EMJMD programme involving a Japanese partner, offering insights into intercultural programme delivery in a globalised educational setting.
