Double Degrees

A double degree is an academic program in which students simultaneously earn two degrees from two different higher education institutions or faculties. These programs typically involve cooperation between the participating institutions and may have the following features:

• Parallel Study: Students complete courses at both institutions and meet the requirements of both programs.
• Credit Recognition: Credits earned at one institution are usually recognized by the other, so students do not have to take twice as many courses.
• Degree Award: At the end of the program, students receive two separate degrees, one from each institution.

Joint Degrees

A joint degree is an academic program jointly offered by two or more higher education institutions, leading to a single, jointly awarded degree. These programs are characterized by:

• Integrated Curriculum: The participating institutions develop a common curriculum recognized by all partners.
• Mutual Recognition: Courses and exams are recognized by all partner institutions.
• Single Degree: Students receive a single degree jointly awarded by all participating institutions, often featuring the logos and signatures of all partner institutions.
