What does it mean to study in a double degree programme?
A double degree programme is an integrated international course of study that takes place partly at a German institute of higher education and partly at an international partner university. In a double degree programme, national degrees from both partner universities are awarded, as opposed to a single joint-degree from both partner universities.
In this programme, you spend two semesters at the University of Göttingen (in the first year, beginning in October) and two semesters at the University of Nanjing (in the second year). As a graduate of the double degree programme, within four semesters, you earn two degrees from master programmes at two prestigious universities with long traditions: MSc in Global Business at the University of Göttingen, Germany, and Master of Management at the University of Nanjing, China.
What are the advantages of a double degree?
When you participate in a double degree programme, you have the possibility to be part of a new academic programme at a partner university. This gives you access to courses that may not be offered at your home university, to gain exposure to a new study or research field, and to develop intercultural competencies in an international environment. The one-year study abroad period creates the possibility to develop an intensive familiarity with the culture and lifestyle of the host country. Take the opportunity to develop an international network and through this, to expand your professional career opportunities.
