What Are Double Degrees?
Double degrees (also called dual degrees) are academic programs that allow a student to earn two degrees often from two different universities (sometimes in two countries) through a single integrated study plan.

Key Features of Double Degree Programs

• Two Degrees — Student earns two full degrees (e.g., BA + BSc or MBA + MSc). 
• Two Institutions — Often involves studying at two universities, usually in different countries.
• Time Efficiency —Takes less time than doing the two degrees separately.
• Collaborative Program — Based on partnerships between universities—credits, semesters, and recognition are pre-agreed.
