Questions about Double Master with SRH and IBS

Here I have several questions from a student from the Double Master ICCP + Economics related to the Double Master with Berlin. The answers are of interest both for students from the double master and for the others. They also apply for the Double Master with France.

“When may students from the Double Master ICCP + Economics apply for the Double Master with SRH or IBS?” In November of their second year. For example, students who enrolled the Double Master ICCP + Economics in 2015/2016 should apply for the Double Master with IBS or SRH this week (until November 11) for a third year abroad, during the course in 2017/2018.

 

“If I were to be accepted to go to Berlin, I would not have to enroll the Master’s thesis module of Master in Economics at Granada since I will do it in Berlin. Does this mean that I do not have to attend the 8 compulsory seminars?”

No, not exactly. You'll have to prepare and defend a Master’s thesis in Granada and another one in Berlin.

Students from UGR admitted in the Double degree will pay (and enroll) the credits corresponding to the master’s thesis (TFM) at UGR during the course they realize in order to meet the requirement of being a student of the UGR during their stay abroad. However, we allow students to prepare and defend their TFM during the previous year. Although the mark will only be recorded in the following year once they finish their stay abroad. Attendance at seminars is computed on 1 point out of 10 in the evaluation of TFM presented in the Master in Economics at Granada so you must attend these seminars before you go.

“In Berlin I will attend several courses and TFM, what tuition should pay at SRH and at UGR?”

During the year in Berlin students from UGR only pay tuitions corresponding with TFM at UGR (8 ECTS). You have to take different courses in SRH including a master’s thesis of 20 ECTS (see description: http://masteres.ugr.es/ugrme/pages/info_academica/berlin/programUGR)

The same occurs at IBS (France) but the thesis is 15 ECTS and 15 ECTS of internships (see http://masteres.ugr.es/ugrme/pages/info_academica/ibs/pd2)

“It is indicated on the website of the Master that students will be responsible for their costs abroad the partner universities will seek to obtain funds to assist in the financing of the mobility periods, especially under the Erasmus programme. So can I obtain an Erasmus grant to fund my stay? What should I do to get that grant?”

The student does not have to pay tuition fees abroad (only the tuition fees at UGR) but they have to pay any fees legally established for the issuing of the degree certificate, travel costs, insurance, etc.

All students accepted into one of the Double Master will receive the Erasmus fund but it does not cover the months in internships. Once accepted into the Double Master, the international relations department of UGR awards the scholarships. You do not have to apply to it.

 

Call to apply to Double degrees with IBS (France) and SRH (Germany):

Selected students from the Master in Economics have the possibility to obtain an official Master’s Degree in Economics at the University of Granada and an official Grade Master at IBS Business School (France) or an official Master’s Degree in International Management at SRH Hochschule Berlin (Germany).

Presentation of my Home University

Freemover Exchange at the University of Granada, Andalusia

From April 28^th till June 10^th 2016 I completed my Freemover exchange at the Economics faculty of the UGR. Even though I’m studying Accounting and Finance back in Switzerland, I applied for the Economics Master, as I wanted to foster my knowledge in other fields and subjects such as International- or Industrial Economics. Even though the UGR differs significantly from my home University regarding teaching methods, organization and class sizes, it was a great possibility to see, profit and learn from a different approach. Fellow students and professors were cooperative and helpful at all times. To sum up, not only studying at the UGR was an unforgettable experience but also the country and the culture as a whole. If you are interested in Economics, I would certainly recommend and exchange at the UGR.

If you are interested in a Freemover Exchange at the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland), you are more than welcomed to contact me. In the attachment you’ll find some brief facts and figures about my University.

Thanks for your help and giving me the opportunity to study at UGR!

Best regards,

Christoph Oberle

FAQ: About master's costs

The master  requires 60 ECTS credits for completion. In the 2015/2016 academic course, tuition was around 1800 Euros (29,57 euros / credit).

Prices are yearly updated at http://escuelaposgrado.ugr.es/pages/masteres_oficiales/calendario_precios_publicos

If you were to be accepted in the Double Master with SRH (Gremany) or with IBS (France), you will have to pay 52 ECTS during the first year and 8 ECTS in the second one. During the second year of the double master, students benefit from an Erasmus Grant (around 4.500 euros for the course).

Some financial aid is available from the UGR at http://ve.ugr.es/pages/becas/index  and from the Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID) at https://www.aecid.gob.es/es-es/Paginas/default.aspx  

Living and transportation costs are quite inexpensive compared  with most cities in Spain.
