Double/Dual/Joint Degrees
Terminology is not clearly defined, often used synonymously
EUA: “Unfortunately, there is no common definition of
what constitutes "joint" degrees, "double" degrees and
"integrated" programmes or curricula. Different terms
are sometimes used to mean the same thing, and one
term is sometimes used to signify different things.“
International Office
Double Degrees
Students fulfill the requirements of two study programmes in two different academic fields. Double degrees lead to a qualification in two subjects from two disciplines which are not closely related.
For example, a Bachelor of Arts can be combined with a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Science with a Bachelor of Engineering.
International Office
Dual Degrees
Students fulfill the requirements of two degree programmes in closely related or similar subjects, normally at two universities in different countries.
Credits achieved abroad are mutually recognized.
Both degree programmes fulfill the national requirements.
