The course of study is a double degree Master's programme jointly offered by Philipps-Universität Marburg and the Grande Ecole INSEEC Business School. It is a unique Master‘s programme designed for students who want to acquire business expertise with a main focus on international aspects related to France and Germany.
For this purpose, IBM combines an academic focus with hands-on international experience. Students attend one year of lectures at INSEEC and another year of lectures at Philipps-Universität Marburg.
Possible Courses:
Students have to undertake a mandatory internship in the second year of their double degree, ideally in the country of the host institution.
There is a semester fee, which includes the mandatory student union membership (required by state law) and a free travel pass for public transport in most of the state of Hessen as well as access to subsidised accommodation and meals. In the summer semester of 2024, the semester fee amounted to approx. 390 EUR.

The market situation for accommodation is not easy in Marburg. However, the university assists international students in finding suitable and affordable accommodation. The student services office ("Studentenwerk Marburg") maintains student residence halls with a total of approx. 2,100 units. Apart from single rooms, there are two- to three-room flats for student families. Only students registered at Philipps-Universität Marburg are entitled to a place in a residence hall. The "Konrad Biesalski House", in which handicapped and non-handicapped students live together, offers round-the-clock assistance. A bus service and services such as physiotherapeutic exercises and massage baths are offered. Many students live in private accommodation or shared flats. The supply of flats in the centre of Marburg is limited, especially in the Old Town ("Oberstadt"). The situation on the outskirts of Marburg and in the immediate vicinity is better. There are good bus connections. Experience shows that demand for accommodation is highest at the beginning of each semester (April, October), so you should start looking for accommodation around the end of the previous semester (February, July) if possible.
