A double degree programme means that you will spend one semester or one year abroad, and obtain a Master’s degree from both Lund University and from the partner university. In addition to a valuable international experience, this gives your education an extra edge and the opportunity to benefit from the expertise and resources from two well-renowned universities.

Year one:

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain (60 credits), or:
University or Groningen, Netherlands (60 credits)

Year two:

Lund University School of Economics and Management (60 credits)

Economic Development and Growth - Master's programme

In this double degree programme, you spend the first year studying at either Universidad Carlos III de Madrid or University of Groningen. Conditional on successful completion of the first year, you spend the second year at Lund University.

Application and admission is administrated by Universidad Carlos III Madrid and University of Groningen respectively depending on where you want to study your first year. To increase your chance of admission, you are welcome to apply to both universities.

Students admitted to the Master’s in Economic Development and Growth in either Madrid or Groningen who complete the first year and are selected for the second year, will automatically be admitted to Lund. 

Year one:

Lund University School of Economics and Management (60 credits)

Finance - Master's Programme

Year two:

University of Groningen, Netherlands (30 credits)

For selected students that deliver very good study results during the initial semester of the programme, double-degree options with University of Groningen will be offered.

University of Groningen (30 credits)

The programme in Groningen is more practically oriented with courses such as company valuation, institutional investment management and banking, insurance and risk management, while the programme at LUSEM goes deeper into theoretical modelling and applying econometric techniques.

After the completion of the Master's in Finance at Lund University School of Economics and Management and the completion of the courses at University of Groningen, students will receive a separate Master's degree certificate in Finance from each university.
