A master degree in economics combined with knowledge of English and insights into the Polish economy, one of the biggest economies in Europe – the new double master degree significantly improves the career opportunities of graduates in the international and especially the European market for highly qualified economists. The new study program will start in the winter semester 2015-2016.

In January, the President of Trier University and the Rector of the University of Warsaw signed the corresponding cooperation agreement, which establishes a double degree program in the field of Economics/Volkswirtschaftslehre.

The agreement  was initiated by the Departments of Economics of of the two universities led by Prof. Dr. Andrzej Cieślik und Prof. Dr. Xenia Matschke. This is the first double master degree program at Trier University.

Language of instruction: English.

1st year:

  • selection into the double master program after the first semester of studies;
  • during the first year, students should acquire 60 credit points;
