The article is devoted to one of the most important forms of internationalization of higher school—student and teacher academic mobility reflected within joint master programmes. The authors analyse in detail the specificity of developing and implementing the Norwegian-Russian Master Degree Programme in Borderology, the participants of which are the University of Nordland and Murmansk State Humanities University. Cross-border cooperation between Universities, developing in the dialogue of different cultures, is interpreted as "the zone of innovations", within the framework of which a new multicultural educational environment and new teaching methodology appear.
