Alumni & Alumnae Experiences

"The Double Degree Programme offered me a great opportunity to combine my Bachelor's degree (Communication Studies) with my Master's degree in Global South Studies and thus deepen my academic interests in an interdisciplinary way. I really enjoyed studying for a semester at the Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF) in Niterói: The political environment there and being introduced to new ways of studying opened up new perspectives on my studies and on global issues. The double degree programme motivated me to learn Portuguese and I was able to improve my language skills in everyday life and during my studies. Last but not least, Niteroi is a very pleasant city to live in, right on the beach with an impressive view of Rio de Janeiro. I am currently writing my Master's thesis with the supervision of professors both from the University of Tübingen and the UFF, which is a valuable experience that has helped me develop academically and broadened my research perspectives."

Johanna Held, current student of the Double Degree

"For me, the UFF-UT double-degree was an opportunity to enhance my knowledge in different areas, and, at the same time, an opportunity to discuss my research topic with colleagues from all over the world. If someone wants to do a double-degree, my advice is to be brave. Also, don't let the language be a barrier whatsoever: after all, the possibility of speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and other languages can itself represent a bridge rather than a wall. Although challenging, the experience in a foreign city is academically, personally and emotionally enriching. Furthermore, the Global South community is very strong in Tübingen, which helps in daily life. In other words, my final advice would be: enjoy and learn!"
