The characteristics of the European ‘EMS’ course are presented, namely the entrance qualifications, its aims, the structure of its curricula, the eligibility of enrolled students with respect to scholarships, its efficiency in the direction of ‘Europe-capable’ technical education, the possibilities of gaining further British national degrees, as Master of Science (MSc) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), and the results reached up to now. In the academic year 1987/88, seven out of eight EMS-students from Osnabriick were in a position to get the Bachelor degree with good results at their first attempt. Furthermore it turned out that this way of engineering education will be the right one for a European career. The final condition of a fully developed system of binational European study courses is characterized as follows: the Fachhochschule Osnabriick together with their counterparts in France, Great Britain and Spain will offer three binational European study courses with double qualification and national graduation within the normal study period of four years. With the help of the ‘Credit Transfer System’ the examination regulations would allow capable students to get a qualification with three national degrees of three partner institutions.
