The aim of the integrated courses Mainz-Dijon is the acquisition of two degrees, both nationally recognised after successful completion of a relevant degree course. The German university awards the Master of Arts (MA); the French University of the Master Recherche (Master's in Research).In addition to the binational specialist training in two educational systems, the acquisition of intercultural competencies is an important component of the course.
