A double degree programme offers students to specialise in complementary focus areas at the participating universities. Students profit from a wide range of specialisation options and from a unique intercultural experience.
Joint programmes can be set up either as independent degree programmes or as an elective specialisation within a degree programme. The three degree programmes offered at the University of Graz are the latter.
A double degree program is a study program in which two national diplomas or certificates are issued, provided that the student has completed at least 30 ECTS credits at the respective partner university in a study program of up to 120 ECTS credits. The two diplomas state that they are a jointly awarded academic degree and that the two certificates are only valid together. The graduate has thus acquired the exclusive right to use one academic degree.
A double degree therefore does not mean that you receive two titles, but one academic degree from two universities.
