The double Master's programme in European Studies gives you the opportunity to benefit from the expertise of two top-ranking universities. You will spend one year studying at each university and graduate with two Master's degrees: a Master of Science (MSc) in European Studies (Research) from Maastricht University and a Master of Science (MSc) in Political Science from the University of Cologne.
The international Master's programme is an ambitious, research-based and interdisciplinary programme. You will 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 on an advanced level in an international research environment.
The programme is integrated into the Master of Science (MSc) in European Studies (Research) from Maastricht University and the Master of Science (MSc) in Political Science from the University of Cologne, and it incorporates courses from both. It is based on recognition of credit points and includes a Master's thesis, which is written during the second year of study.
The courses available at the two universities complement each other very well, providing a wide range from which you can benefit. You can choose between different specialisations and course options, depending on your personal interest. Please consult the Maastricht course catalogue and the University of Cologne course catalogue to get an impression of the content of the courses. Please note that there can be minor changes in the course catalogues in the upcoming semesters.
At the University of Cologne, the semester contribution amounts to approx. 320 EUR per semester. The fee includes a public transport ticket for regional transport throughout Germany ("Deutschlandsemesterticket").
