M.Sc. European Management with Strasbourg

The Program

This double degree program is the result of a cooperation between the University of Tübingen and the University of Strasbourg that goes back to 1997. Designed as a two-year program to be completed at both partnering institutions, this integrated double degree program is supported by the French-German University and prepares graduates for an international career.
This master is designed as a two-year program. The students spend two semesters at each university starting in Strasbourg. At the end of the program graduates receive the following two degrees:

  • Master of Science at the University of Tübingen
  • Master Grande École at the University of Strasbourg

Additionally the students receive a certificate of the French-German University.
This program endows students with the skills and capacities necessary to succeed in the European labor market. Participants experience two cultures, two campus lives and two academic practices. Their studies in Tübingen and Strasbourg provide them with a unique insight into their specialization. It is this intercultural competence that leads to the “added value” for our graduates on both a personal and a professional level.
The German French University has decided to support students in this program with a scholarship which is awarded based on academic merit and serves to aid students bear additional living expenses that occur during their study abroad.
