Double Degree. Double the Opportunities. On an International Level
If you want to take your education and career prospects to an international level, a Double Degree program is an interesting opportunity for you. Rostock University offers a two year Master’s program in Business Information Systems in cooperation with the National Research University for IT, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO University) in St. Petersburg, Russia. Graduates of the study program receive two degrees:
- in Germany: Master of Science in Business Information Systems
- in Russia: Master's degree in Business Informatics (Магистр бизнес-информатики)
As part of the program, students enrolled at Rostock University will have to study either one or two semesters in St. Petersburg where classes are taught in English. The Double Degree basically is an extension of the existing Master program in Business Information System at Rostock University, which had to be prolonged by one semester to reach the number of credits required for a Master’s degree in the Russian program. The content of the additional semester is a project-oriented research work.
There is an admission restriction for a maximum number of students. Thus, an application is required. It has to be submitted at the latest until June 1 in Rostock and July 15 in St. Petersburg if you plan to start your studies in the winter term. Enrolment in the summer term would also be possible but is not recommended.
