RUC-LUISS Double Master’s Degree in

International Relations and Management

The double master's degree in International Relations and Management is a joint program between Renmin University of China (RUC) and LUISS Guido Carli University (LUISS).

This collaborative program offers a unique and valuable opportunity for participating students. Obtaining a double degree from two leading universities such as LUISS and RUC can be highly valuable for several reasons. Firstly, it allows students to gain a diverse and well-rounded education by studying at two prestigious institutions with different teaching styles, cultures, and academic environments. Studying in both Europe and China can expose students to diverse perspectives and broaden their cultural horizons, helping them develop valuable intercultural communication skills and a global perspective.

Secondly, earning a double degree can enhance their job prospects, as employers often view candidates with multiple degrees as highly qualified and adaptable.

Overall, the double master's degree in International Relations and Management is a unique opportunity for students to gain a diverse and well-rounded education, while also enhancing their career prospects and cultural awareness.
