These programs offer participants an extraordinary opportunity to obtain two degrees at the same time. This integrated double degree Master program in European Economics is conducted in cooperation with the Università degli studi di Pavia (Italy), the University of Nottingham (UK) and the Aix-Marseille University (France).
