Overview 

Master two completely different disciplines, without sacrificing the potential in one. Be the cream of the crop with a double degree programme from LKYSPP. 

Our Double Degree Partner and Programme

Master of Arts in International Economics and Finance at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), a graduate school of Johns Hopkins University.

In today’s complex world, economics and international relations are closely-linked. This double degree programme aims to train students in both fields.  The Master in International Affairs programme provides students with a strong foundation in both theoretical frameworks and policy knowledge in various subfields of international relations, together with an immersive experience in Asia, while the Masters of Arts in International Economics and Finance programme prepares students to understand advanced economic theories, master quantitative and econometric skills, and analyze a wide range of international economics and financial issues.

Admission is highly competitive and accepted students get to spend one year at the LKY School and the second at SAIS. Application to SAIS should be made at the end of the first semester at LKY School. Upon successful completion of the programme, graduates will be awarded with two Master degrees from LKY School and SAIS.
