Overview

A special feature of this European Studies programme offered by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz is that participants live together for one year in three countries and study three languages.

Key Features

This is a consecutive 4-semester M. A. program that will be certified in all three participating countries, started in the academic year 2013/14 . It is the first genuinely trinational study program at JGU, and the only trinational M. A. in European Studies currently offered in Germany: Participants study the first semester in Opole (Poland), the second semester in Mainz (Germany), and the third semester in Dijon (France).

Only for the final semester, dedicated to a compulsory internship, the writing of a master´s thesis, and the final exam, participants separate, depending on where they do the internship, thesis and exam. Upon the successful completion of the M. A. program, graduates receive the respective national degrees from all three partner universities.
