The Double Master's Programme in Demography and Social Inequality gives first-class students the opportunity to benefit from the outstanding expertise of two top-ranking universities. Participants of the programme spend one year studying at each university and graduate with two master's degrees: a Master of Sciences in Sociology and Social Research issued by the University of Cologne and a Master of Science in Population Studies issued by the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
The international master's programme focuses on demographic change, population dynamics and the challenges faced by modern societies due to increasing life expectancy, decreasing birth rates and migration. Students will learn to apply advanced social research methods and data analysis, providing necessary tools to deal with current issues such as ageing, social inequality, family, integration and education, among others. Students will have the possibility of acquiring in-depth knowledge of these topics and developing interdisciplinary research skills.
For Dutch students: het Duitsland Instituut Amsterdam biedt het DIA-Stipendium, een beurs voor Nederlandse studenten in Duitsland. Geïnteresseerden kunnen twee keer per jaar een aanvraag indienen. De deadlines zijn op 1 juli en 1 december voor het daaropvolgende semester.

UG students Human Geography and Urban and Regional Planning have direct access to this double degree.
To meet the requirements of 15 ECTS in the field of Sociology / Demography you can follow the Minor Population, Development and Wellbeing with the course 'Sociale Welvaart'. Dutch-speaking students will then meet the Sociology content-knowledge entry requirements. See the website: https://www.rug.nl/frw/education/minor-population-development-wellbeing
For the study year 2021-2022, some students can start their (pre)master's programme under certain conditions. This way, students can already take master courses whilst also finishing their bachelor's programme and study delay is limited as much as possible. This is refered to as the 'Zachte Knip' (soft cut). Please find the conditions and information about application on https://www.rug.nl/frw/education/introduction/zachte-knip/non-fss-students.
