Double degree programmes

Lund University School of Economics and Management has joined forces with some of the best business schools to offer three double degree programmes.

Melbourne, Australia.

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. 

MSc Economic Development and Growth

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)
Master's in Economic Development and Growth

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.

MSc Finance

Year one:
Lund University School of Economics and Management (60 credits)
Master's in Finance

Year two:
EMLyon business school, France (60 credits), or:
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 Emlyon business school and University of Groningen will be offered.

Studying abroad during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic - what do you need to consider?

Due to Covid-19, participating in a double degree is more uncertain than usual and restrictions may be decided upon at a late stage. If you are nominated for a double degree, which is later cancelled or not possible for other reasons, please note that LUSEM will not be able to offer you an alternative seat instead. It is therefore important that you have arranged for a back-up plan.
