Graduates of the integrated study programme Mainz-Dijon in German Studies are granted two national degrees. The programme is based on a fixed bi-national course of study in German philology which focusses on literary studies, linguistics, and cultural studies. In a particular Franco-German module, all participants obtain intercultural competencies and reflect on the different education systems. It includes an intensive language preparation course, which helps students to successfully integrate into the partner system.
Once students arrive at the partner university, they may benefit from diverse mobility grants for the duration of the stay abroad (ERASMUS, Franco-German university network). Furthermore, they are exempt from tuition fees at the host university.
The programme also includes an obligatory internship that allows the students to deepen their intercultural experiences as well as to take the first steps towards the creation of an international professional network.
The students spend the first year at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, and the second year at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, France. The second year concludes with a Master's thesis.
Participants spend the third and fourth semester at the University of Burgundy, Dijon. Furthermore, we strongly advise students to complete the obligatory internship in the partner country.
An internship of at least four weeks is to be completed during the break between the first and the second semester or between the first and the second year. The cultural institutions of the partner regions, Maison Rhénanie-Palatinat in Dijon and Haus Burgund in Mainz, provide assistance with finding an internship.
The Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz charges an administrative fee of approx. 350 EUR per semester. This includes a ticket for public transport, allowing you to use buses, trams, and the underground for free in Mainz and the surrounding area, for example in Frankfurt or Wiesbaden.
In Mainz and Dijon, about 800 EUR per month are required for living expenses. For more information, see https://www.international.uni-mainz.de/exchange/
