Approximately 25 minutes after departure climbing from 28000 feet to 34000 feet we got a number two engine EGT OVERLIMIT ECAM message. We decided to level off at FL300. After we identified the non-normal; as the pilot flying I called for ECAM actions and we shut down the number two engine. I was the pilot flying and the captain was the pilot monitoring. The captain informed ATC and we decided to divert to the nearest suitable airport. Approximately 20 minutes later; after accomplishing all required checklist; QRH; Landing Performance; ECAM procedures contacting Dispatch and requesting Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) we landed without incident. ARFF determined there was no fire or smoke that prohibited us from taxiing to the gate. Our Flight Attendant crew also accomplished all of their required checklist without incident.
