Double degree programme with Ghent University

The School of Economics and Business Administration of the University of Tartu has created two Master’s programmes Innovation and Technology Management and Quantitative Economics, together with Ghent University.

You can receive two diplomas by spending your second year at Ghent University (Belgium). When studying Innovation and Technology Management or Quantitative Economics, you will have the opportunity to decide, whether you want to study two years at the University of Tartu or split your studies between Estonia and Belgium (1 year in the University of Tartu and 2nd year at the University of Ghent).

The double degree programme offers students several compelling advantages. First, the students can obtain two diplomas from the University of Tartu and Ghent University within two years of study. Second, they have the unique opportunity to split their studies between Estonia and Belgium. Third, the students benefit from international experience, studying alongside peers from Ghent University, attending lectures by professors at both institutions and receiving dual guidance on their master’s theses.
