The MSc in Economics and Development offers three double degree programs.

• For students of the curriculum Development Economics, a Double Degree Program is offered jointly with the MSc in Development Economics of the University of Göttingen (Germany). Please click here for additional information.
• For students of the curriculum Economics, a Double Degree Program is offered jointly with the MSc in European Economic Studies of the University of Bamberg (Germany). Please click here for additional information.
• For students of the curriculum Economics, another Double Degree Program is offered jointly with the International Master in Public Policies of the University of Rennes (France). Please click here for additional information.

For either program, students from the MSc in Development Economics spend their second year at the partner university, where they attend courses, take exams, and write their master thesis in order to earn 60 Ects, which are added to the 60 Ects to be earned at the University of Florence. At the end of the program, students earn one degree from the University of Florence, that is MSc in Economics and Development, and one degree from the partner university, that is MSc in Development Economics from UniGoettingen, or MSc in European Economic Studies from UniBamberg, or International Master in Public Policies from UniRennes.

The School of Economics and Management has a webpage about double degrees.

Why do a Double Degree?

A double degree program allows students to:

• study at two top economics schools;
• earn two degrees, one from each university, which, if done separately, would take four years of studies;
• gain international experience;
• be more competitive in the labour market;
• broaden their horizons;
• build strong international networks.
