Double degree programmes for LUSEM master students
Lund University School of Economics and Management has joined forces with some of the best business schools to offer three double degree programmes.
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)
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)
After completing the Master’s in Finance (60 credits), you can take a third semester (30 credits of course work) at the University of Groningen, studying parts of their Master's in Finance programme. You do not need to write another thesis.
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.
Double degree candidates shall pay tuition fees to University of Groningen for the period of studies. Students from EU/EEA: approximately €2 200. Students from non-EU/EEA: approximately €21 700
