Roskilde University (RUC) and Christian Albrechts University of Kiel are now launching a two-year master’s program, the "Double Master's Degree in Business Administration." Students will complete the program partly in Roskilde and partly in Kiel, working on projects with fellow students from both universities. Through project work and coursework, students will learn to identify opportunities and challenges in business management, particularly in collaborations between Danish and German companies, authorities, and organizations.
The program awards students a master’s degree from both Roskilde University and Christian Albrechts University of Kiel.
International Business Collaborations
The forthcoming Fehmarn Belt connection is the backdrop for this Danish-German educational collaboration. This connection necessitates new knowledge, increased cooperation, and innovation on both sides of the border. This educational program provides students with a unique opportunity to study international business collaborations, both in the Fehmarn region and in other regions in Denmark and Germany.
In-depth Knowledge of Danish-German Collaboration
Students enrolled at RUC begin their first semester in Roskilde. The second semester takes place in Kiel, where they meet German students and undertake a project together over the following two semesters.
"The advantage for students in this program is that they gain in-depth knowledge of Danish-German collaboration and business culture in both countries. Germany is Denmark's largest export market, and there is high demand for professionals with expertise in this area," says Associate Professor Margit Neisig, RUC, in a press release.
Program Conducted in English
It is not necessary to know German to complete the new program, as it is conducted in English. However, there is an option to take German language courses alongside the studies.
"With this program, Roskilde University emphasizes that we are the region's university. Region Zealand is focused on developing Danish-German cooperation, as the Fehmarn connection will transform us into a border region with significantly closer ties to Germany. This can boost the entire area," says Associate Professor Margit Neisig, RUC.
The double master’s degree program will be launched in the autumn of 2024.
