BILGI / Viadrina

The "Bilgi / Viadrina Double Degree in European Studies" is a joint program between Bilgi University, Istanbul (Turkey) and the European University Viadrina, Frankfurt Oder (Germany).

Since 2007 the double degree program has given students the possibility to deepen their knowledge on the South-Eastern dimensions of Europe, especially Turkey. Participants spend two semesters at the partner university (usually the third and fourth semester) and are closely connected to the European Studies departments at the partner university. The majority of courses at Bilgi are held in English. Wth its emphasis on multilingualism, Viadrina offers courses in German, English, French and Polish. The Master thesis will be written under co-supervision, with one supervisor from Viadrina and one from Bilgi.

Having fulfilled these joint requirements, students will be awarded a “Master of Arts in European Studies” from both universities.
