AB Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degrees (EMJMD) offer a unique opportunity tojointly design and deliver an integrated curriculum of excellence in an internationalcontext. This study analyses the case of a Master’s Degree specialised in Education:PETaL “Play, Education, Toys and Languages”. This is the first EMJMD obtained bythe University of Cordoba (Spain) within the framework of the Erasmus+ Program(2014-2020), in coordination with the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon (Portugal) andMarmara University (Turkey). Through the design, validation and distribution of anonline questionnaire, this research aims to examine teachers’ opinions on the placeof integration in their teaching, as well as on the level of interdisciplinarity in theprogramme based on Harden’s model (2000). This pioneering course represents afavourable context in which to evaluate the “jointness” in the curriculum and otheraspects of the teaching-learning process, little explored so far in this context. Theresults reveal that, foreseeably, the conditions for greater integration in thesuccessive editions are in place. Thus, it is necessary to continue strengtheningteaching coordination and the aspects leading to further curricular integration. Thestudy also serves as a reflection on teaching practice and the possibilities forinterdisciplinarity in postgraduate education.
