In a double degree programme, two university degrees are obtained in parallel at two internationally recognised institutions and completed in the time required for one degree.

Double degree programmes provide an excellent opportunity for students to gain both academic knowledge and intercultural experience. These programmes offer a broad education and require a high level of ambition, organisation, and commitment.
