• You will spend the first two semesters at the Viadrina.

• In the winter semester, you should complete the 4 basic modules of 24 ECTS each, as well as a first course from the major subject with 6 ECTS.

• In the second semester, another 30 ECTS must be completed, either from the central area or compulsory elective modules.
  This results in a total of 60 ECTS for the first year of study.

• No points can be earned in the modules "Practical Skills" and "Foreign Language" within the framework of the double master's programme.

• For the French programme participants, no more than 20 ECTS may be acquired in their native language at the Viadrina.

• German and French students spend the third semester together at Sciences Po Strasbourg.

• In this semester, a total of 39 ECTS must be acquired.

• A "spécialité" is chosen at Sciences Po. The choices are "Politiques européennes et affaires publiques" (PEAP), "Sécurité de l'Europe et stabilité internationale" (SESI) and "Politiques européennes et franco-germaniques" (GER).

• This is followed by a compulsory internship of at least 3 months. The aim is for the students to develop a topic for their master's thesis from the internship. The thesis must be written by the end of the summer semester, i.e. in September, and is credited with 21 ECTS after a successful defence. The thesis must be supervised by a German and a French lecturer in co-tutelle.

• Students acquire two Master's degrees for 60 ECTS credits each, i.e. the German and French grades are not offset against each other. If at least 12 ECTS were acquired in English during the degree programme, the certificate "Multilingualism" can also be issued. The decisive factor for this is the examination regulations of the MES.

• The following degrees are awarded for successful completion:

• Degree Germany: Master of Arts in European Studies

• French degree: Master Études européennes et internationales

The selection procedure takes place once a year every summer. The application deadline is 15 July (date of receipt). Subject to acceptance by the DFH, accepted students spend the winter semester, as well as the summer semester, at the Viadrina, and go to Sciences Po Strasbourg for the following winter and the following summer semester.

Up to seven places can be allocated. If you do not receive a place in the double master's programme, your application will still be valid for the regular Master's programme in European Studies.

Future students who wish to apply for a place in the double master's programme go through the regular online enrollment procedure of the Viadrina. In the online portal, please check the box "Application for a Double Master Program". The enrollment documents to be submitted are the same as for a regular place on the European Studies programme. In addition, you must upload a letter of motivation and a CV in French and prove French language skills at the level of at least UNIcert II.

The Viadrina does not charge tuition fees. All students pay a semester fee, the Semesterbeitrag. Although this fee is to be paid upon enrolment and re-registration, it is not an amount for the Viadrina, but is passed on in full to the Studentenwerk or the AStA.

German students are exempt from tuition fees at Sciences Po Strasbourg.

There is the possibility to apply for an Erasmus grant via the European University Viadrina. There are currently seven Erasmus places available per academic year. After successful application for the double master's programme, a separate application must be submitted to the International Office. Erasmus rates are expected to be 540€/month for the academic year 2022/23.

In addtion, the Deutsch-Französische Hochschule supports students during their time abroad with a monthly mobility allowance (currently 300 €/month; as of 05/2022).
