CLUSTER (Consortium Linking Universities of Science and Technology for Education and Research) is a network of leading European Universities of Technology, founded in 1990. Representing a total of 2'500 professors, 11'000 teachers and researchers, 120'000 students, and 13’000 PhD students, CLUSTER may be considered as a multi-location European University for Science and Technology. With a combined budget of 3.1 billion EUR, of which 1.4 billion EUR is awarded through competition, it offers strong partnerships for the development of industry and society at a European level.

CLUSTER is fully committed to the development of the European higher education area. Rectors of CLUSTER have signed the convention on mutual recognition of degrees stating that students from other CLUSTER institutions will be admitted like local students to master and PhD programmes. This enables vertical mobility for students of all member universities and creates transparency between the engineering programmes.

To further strengthen the European dimension at the MSc level, CLUSTER is engaged in developing Dual Degree Programmes. Students enrolled in a MSc programme at a CLUSTER university will have the opportunity to study the second year at another CLUSTER university. They will receive two degrees or a joint degree and be awarded a CLUSTER MSc diploma signed by the representatives of each university.
