The Double Degree Programme is a two-year programme that combines the contents of two Master programmes: the two-year Master's programme in "Sociology" (Soziologie) offered by the University of Bamberg and the one-year Master's programme in "Sociology" offered by Tilburg University. Students spend the first year in Bamberg and the second year in Tilburg. In the end they will obtain Master’s degrees from both programmes.
