The School of Business and Economics has entered into double degree agreements with different partner universities all over the world. 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). Designed as a two-year program to be completed in equal shares at the University of Tübingen and one of the partner universities, featuring a broad range of courses and granting two degrees, this Master program teaches students the skills and capabilities necessary to succeed in the European labor market. With one study year in Tübingen, Germany and one study year at the partner university participants experience two cultures, two campus lives and two academic perspectives.
