Welcome to the BASUS website at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid
Una Europa Joint Bachelor in Sustainability (BASUS) is an international interdisciplinary three-year undergraduate programme, co-created by eight leading research-intensive European universities. Being a joint degree means that, upon a successful completion of the programme, a graduate receives a single diploma jointly awarded by six of these universities – KU Leuven, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universität Zürich, Helsingin yliopisto/Helsingfors universitet, and Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie.
Moreover, the education they receive is further enriched by the involvement of the two mobility partners of the programme – the University of Edinburgh and Freie Universität Berlin.
The programme was accredited according to the European Approach procedure by an international panel in 2025 and the first cohort of BASUS students started in the academic year 2025/2026.
BASUS students will have the opportunity to study on-campus at three of Europe’s most prominent universities. Moreover, the mobility of the teaching staff composed of noted experts from all universities associated with the programme ensures the utmost quality of the programme no matter the location of a student. By providing extensive education on sustainability, its various complexities and intersections of divergent disciplines, the programme aims to equip its graduates with necessary tools to forge a better future.
