Features of the programme  

The Luiss – Tilburg Double Degree programme enables selected students on the Master’s Degree in Management to specialise in Supply Chain Management or International Management and to obtain an MSc awarded by the Tilburg School of Economics and Management (TiSEM), in addition to the Master’s Degree in Management from Luiss. 

This Double Degree programme requires strong quantitative skills, which are essential for successfully completing the compulsory courses offered at the partner institution during the year of study abroad and for understanding complex analytical concepts.

Programme structure  

The programme is structured as follows: 

  • The first year of the programme takes place at Luiss; 
  • The second year takes place at Tilburg University. 

Places available  

There are 6 places available for each academic year. 

Who can apply?  

The call for applications for the 2027–2028 mobility year is aimed at students enrolled in the first year of Luiss's Master's Degree in Management during the 2026–2027 academic year. 

Eligible majors

  • Entrepreneurship and Innovation 
  • International Management 

Fees and charges 

Luiss students will remain enrolled at Luiss during their time at Tilburg University and will continue to pay their tuition fees to Luiss. From the 2026/27 mobility year onwards, the following Tilburg University tuition fees will also apply during the mobility period: 

  • Students who are EU or EEA nationals and who do not yet hold a Dutch Master's degree are required to pay the statutory tuition fees. Subsequently, Luiss students will receive a scholarship from Tilburg University equal to the amount of the statutory fees. 
  • Non-EU/EEA nationals and students with EU/EEA citizenship who already hold a Dutch Master's degree are required to pay the institutional tuition fees. However, students will benefit from a reduction and will be required to pay 70% of the standard institutional tuition fees. 

Both the statutory and the institutional fees are published on the Tilburg University website. 

Qualifications awarded  

Upon completing the programme, students will be awarded a Master's Degree in Management from Luiss and a Master's in Supply Chain Management or International Management from Tilburg University. 

To be awarded the Double Degree, participants must comply with the rules and conditions set by both universities.
