Master's programmes and tracks

The proximity and location of the three universities offers excellent opportunities for educational cooperation. This cooperation enables joint inter- and multidisciplinary education linked to the societal themes on which we profile ourselves.

The three universities - or two of them - offer joint bachelor programs at the intersection of disciplines. These programs respond to new scientific and societal developments.
