You are studying International Business Administration and Entrepreneurship, Management & Entrepreneurship or Management and Sustainable Accounting and Finance at the Faculty of Management & Technology, and are planning to earn a double degree at the University of Glasgow or Cranfield University in the UK?
Do you also have a very strong academic record?
Then apply for the Excellence Scholarship for Double Degree Programmes!
As part of a double degree programme, you will spend the first half of your studies at Leuphana and the second half at our partner university in the UK. Upon completion, you will be awarded two academic degrees – both internationally recognised and offering a unique academic profile.
To make this special journey possible, Leuphana’s International Center supports high-achieving students with a partial scholarship for a year abroad. The scholarship provides €600 per month for one year, allowing you to even more focus on your studies and your new academic environment.
Call for scholarship applications
This call for applications is aimed at Leuphana students on the following degree programmes who have opted for a double degree programme with one of the following partner universities in the UK:
Bsc International Business Administration and Entrepreneurship / University of Glasgow

MSc Management and Sustainable Accounting and Finance / University of Glasgow
Partial scholarships of 600 EUR per month are awarded for a maximum of 12 months.
Funding is available for semesters 7–8 for Bachelor’s students and for semesters 3–4 for Master’s students.
Travel expenses and tuition fees are not eligible for funding.
The call for applications for scholarships for outgoing students on dual-degree programmes runs in parallel with the call for applications for places at partner universities.
The deadline for the winter semester 2026–27 is 7 December 2026.
Decisions on the award of scholarships will be made promptly after the application deadline, so that you will already know whether you will receive a scholarship by the time you decide whether to accept your place at the partner university.
