Doppel-Master-Programm in Europastudien

As a student of the Double Master's Programme in European Studies, you benefit from the expertise of two top universities. You spend one year studying at Maastricht University in the Netherlands and one year at the University of Cologne and will graduate with two master’s degrees: a Master of Science in European Studies from Maastricht University and a Master of Arts in Political Science from the University of Cologne. The programme is integrated into these degree programmes and incorporates courses from both. It is based on recognition of credit points and includes a master's thesis, which you will write during your second year of studies.

The international master's programme is an ambitious, research-based and interdisciplinary programme. You develop an in-depth understanding of the institutions of the European Union and the challenges of politics and policies in an integrated Europe. The programme aims to teach you to apply quantitative and qualitative method skills, enabling you to operate at an advanced level in an international research environment.

The Economics and Social Sciences Faculty of the University of Cologne ("WiSo Faculty") was founded in 1901 as a business school. Since then she has expanded her sphere of activity to include economics, sociology and politics. Today we have more than a century of experience training new generations of economists, economists, sociologists and political experts. During this time we have developed a tradition of close dialogue with our stakeholders and a focus on scientific research that is of great relevance for the corporate world, economic policy and society. We are in the heart of Europe, in a city that has been a center of international trade and economy for over two thousand years.
