Oferir aquest Dual Degree des de la universitat pública catalana és una aposta estratègica a llarg termini. Estem treballant també per poder oferir beques i altres ajudes per al segon any a Londres 7/7
Aquesta és una iniciativa conjunta fruit de la cooperació entre professorat de la UB i de Kings’ College que vol oferir programes d’alta qualitat en ciències socials 6/7
D’aquesta manera, acabats els dos anys, els estudiants tindran dos títols: el MIPE de la UB i un dels màsters de Kings’ College 5/7
Durant el segon any, els estudiants realitzaran la tesina final de màster amb una supervisió compartida entre professorat de la UB i de Kings’ College 4/7
El segon any a Londres els estudiants podran escollir entre diferents màsters a Kings’ College: el MA in Political Economy, el MA in Public Policy o el MSc in Economics and Public Policy 3/7
El Dual Degree preveu la realització del 1r any a Barcelona, fent el primer curs del Màster en Institucions i Economia Política (MIPE) de la UB, i el segon any a Londres 2/7
Molt content amb la posada en marxa del nou Dual Degree entre la Universitat de Barcelona @ub.edu i Kings’ College @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social a Londres. Tota la informació aquí: www.ub.edu/mipe/#dual 1/7 👇
