From the 2018/2019 winter semester, master’s students of Bielefeld University and La Sapienza University in Rome will have the opportunity to enroll in a Double Degree Master’s program between both universities.
The program is aimed towards those students enrolled either at Bielefeld University or La Sapienza University, who are required to spend one semester of the two-year-program at the partner-institution.
