Double Degree LSM-VSE in a nutshell

Standard period of study: 4 semesters, full time

Start: Fall semester (mid-September at LSM)

Language: English

Degrees awarded: Double degree student who has completed the required credits of each university will obtain two degrees, one from each university: the "Master en sciences de gestion, à finalité spécialisée" OR "Master en ingénieur de gestion, à finalité spécialisée" from the Louvain School of Management (legally titled in French, the programme is entirely in English) and "Master in Finance and Accounting" from VSE.

Fees : Tuition fees are paid at the "home" university, for the entire duration of the studies. Administrative fees might be required at the "host" university.

Double degree structure

DD students will spend 1 year at LSM and one year at VSE. Although programmes are subject to change, you can check the examples here below:

Master's Thesis

Students enrolled in a double degree LSM/VSE are required to write one single Master's thesis. Therefore the students will have to find two professors: one at LSM and one at VSE. One will be the main supervisor and the other, the reader.
Students usually start their work for the Master's thesis already during the first year. The Master's thesis will be written in English. A mandatory oral defense, by videoconference, will take place in front of at least two professors.
