The Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies is excited to announce that Carleton University has signed an agreement with the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL) and the Université Saint-Louis – Bruxelles (USL-B) to launch its first Dual Master’s Degree Program in European Studies. The program will allow graduate students to take classes and obtain degrees from the signatory universities after completing all of the academic requirements.
The official signing ceremony was held in Ottawa on May 22, 2018, attended by His Excellency Mr. Raoul Delcorde, Ambassador of Belgium to Canada, Alastair JS Summerlee, Interim President and Vice-Chancellor of Carleton Univeristy, Prof. Sébastien Van Bellegem, Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Social, Political Sciences and Communication of UCL and other representatives of the three universities.
Starting in the Fall Term 2018, students accepted to the Dual Master pathway will take courses at both institutions and will, at the end of their studies, be awarded two degrees, a “Master of Arts in European, Russian and Eurasian Studies” from Carleton and a “Master 120 en études européennes à finalité spécialisée: Gouvernance et sociétés européennes from UCL/USL-B”. Please see here for more details about the Dual Master.
The Dual Master in European Studies is one of the first dual-degree pathways offered at Carleton University under its new Dual Master Policy. A story from University Communications about the Dual Master can be found here.
