Offer for students

There are currently three Joint Master Programs:

• European Studies The Joint Program brings together the University of Granada, the University of Graz, the University of Leipzig and the University of Vilnius with the aim of promoting a multidisciplinary understanding of Europe's role in the world by drawing on a range of approaches in the humanities and social sciences.
• International Cybersecurity and CyberintelligenceThe program offers specialized academic training in the areas of Cybersecurity, Cyberintelligence and International Relations and Law for Cybersecurity. It is jointly run by four European universities: Granada, Minho, Padua and Vilnius.
• Translation The multiple master's degree program in Translation combines different approaches to translation and translation studies, enhances cooperation between Arqus universities and other European universities, offers future graduates a broader view of this discipline and thus ensures their smooth integration into the international job market.

An overview of the courses offered by the individual Arqus universities can be found in the Course Catalogue.

Arqus promotes unlimited mobility and offers students a large number of places for a stay abroad at one of the nine partner institutions (Granada, Graz, Leipzig, Lyon 1, Maynooth, Minho, Padua, Vilnius and Wroclaw).
