The Double Degree Program in Mathematics is a unique opportunity to study in two countries and earn a Master’s degree awarded by two leading international universities: the University of Calabria and the University of Würzburg. You will experience the best of both academic worlds, gaining access to a broader and richer range of courses than you would at a single institution.
Along the way, you will sharpen your language skills, immerse yourself in different cultures, and grow personally and academically. With joint supervision and exposure to vibrant research environments at both universities, you will be well prepared for further studies or an international career in mathematics and beyond.
To be eligible for the Double Degree Program, students must have completed a Bachelor's degree, totaling at least 180 ECTS credits. As general requirements:
- A completed Bachelor's degree (First Level Degree) in Mathematics or a closely related field.
- English language proficiency level B2.
- Academic competencies in core mathematical areas from previous studies.
Students from the University of Würzburg should contact either Prof. Borzi or Dr. Hartmann for a first councelling session.
- For the application you should submit a motivation letter and a current transcript of records of your Bachelor's degree and, if applicable, your Master's degree.
- If your application is accepted you must apply and enroll to the Master's programme "Mathematics International" at JMU.
- If you are already enrolled in a Master's degree programme at JMU (e.g., in Mathematics), you also need to change to the Master's programme "Mathematics International". Your previous examination results will be recognized for the double degree programme as far as possible.
Cosenza is a historic city in Calabria, known for its cultural heritage and beautiful landscape, surrounded by mountains and just 20 km to the Mediterranean Sea. The Università della Calabria is a popular university with over 30,000 students. Student accommodation is available in residential blocks near the University.

The Università della Calabria and the University of Würzburg are partner universities in the Erasmus plus programme. As a student in the double degree programme, you can apply for an erasmus plus fellowship to (partially) cover travel and living expenses. Please note that the Erasmus plus programme has different deadlines for application, see the Erasmus plus websites of theInstitute of Mathematics and the Service Centre InterNational Affairs
Students with the University of Würzburg as their home university will spend at least one semester—typically semester 3 and/or 4—at the University of Calabria in Cosenza. During their stay, they must acquire a minimum of 30 ECTS credits.
To be eligible for the mobility, students must complete at least 40 ECTS credits (respectively 25 ECTS credits if the mobility is planned for the second semester) at JMU before the start of their semester abroad.
