All work completed satisfactorily abroad is recognized by both the host and home universities, thus enabling students to complete degree requirements in Germany, France, Spain or Italy and in Rhode Island. This international option can also serve as an opportunity for students to explore additional focus areas related to their academic interests that may not be currently available at URI, allowing them to maximize the impact of their graduate studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*As of Fall 2025, the German partnership program is available to all MS programs, the French partnership is available to all MS programs, the Italian partnership is available for the MCE\/ISE MS programs and the Spanish partnership is available for the OCE MS program.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"cl-wrapper cl-boxout-wrapper\"><div class=\"cl-boxout  \"><h1>Program Contacts<\/h1>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>TU Braunschweig and TU Darmstadt dual master&#8217;s programs<\/strong><br>Sigrid Berka, <a href=\"mailto:sigrid_berka@uri.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sigrid_berka@uri.edu<\/a>; +1 401.874.4700<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>UTC dual master&#8217;s programs<\/strong><br>Sigrid Berka, <a href=\"mailto:sigrid_berka@uri.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"mailto:sigrid_berka@uri.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sigrid_berka@uri.edu<\/a>; +1 401.874.4700<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Parthenope Program in Mechanical\/Industrial Engineering<\/strong><br>Chengzhi Yuan,<a href=\"cyuan@uri.edu\"> cyuan@uri.edu<\/a>; +1 401.874.9067<br>Michelangelo La Luna, <a href=\"mailto:laluna@uri.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">laluna@uri.edu<\/a>; +1 401.874.5968<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>UNICAN Program in Ocean Engineering<\/strong><br>Stephen Licht, <a href=\"mailto:slicht@uri.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">slicht@uri.edu<\/a>; +1 401.874.6028<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International Dual Master&#8217;s Degree Programs Administered in collaboration with the Technical University (TU) of Braunschweig and the Technical University (TU) of Darmstadt in Germany, the University of Technology of Compi\u00e8gne (UTC) in Compi\u00e8gne, France, the University of Cantabria (UNICAN) in Santander, Spain, and Parthenope University in Naples, Italy, these dual master&#8217;s programs enable students to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":581,"featured_media":0,"parent":32288,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-80566","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/80566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/581"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80566"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/80566\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":86339,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/80566\/revisions\/86339"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/32288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
