Double Degree Structure
DD students will spend 1 year at LSM and one year at VMU. Although programmes are subject to change, you can check the examples here below:
Students enrolled in a double degree LSM/VMU are required to write one single Master's thesis. Therefore the students will have to find two professors: one at LSM and one at VMU. One will be the main supervisor, and the other one will be the reader.
Students usually start their work for the Master's thesis already during the first year. The Master's thesis will be written in English. A mandatory oral defense, by videoconference, will take place in front of at least the two professors.
Fall Semester: from mid-September to mid-end December (Official exam session of fall semester courses in January).
Spring Semester: from the end of January/beginning of February to mid-end May (incl. 2-week spring break) (Official exam session of spring semester courses in June).
Resit exam session from mid-August to the beginning of September.
Fall Semester: from the last week of August to the end of December (incl. exam session) (Resit exam session the beginning of January)
