Joint/double degrees
Joint or double degree courses are characterised by a curriculum developed jointly by one or more universities of applied science with a fixed integrated period of international study at one of the partner universities of applied science forming a central component of the course of study. Students receive either a joint degree or a national double degree from the partner universities involved.
Funding programmes
- Several funding programmes support the development of joint or double degree courses as a key instrument to internationalise universities of applied science:
- DAAD programme ‘Integrated international courses with double degrees’
- DAAD programme ‘Strategic partnerships’
- ERASMUS+ Joint Master Degrees (Key Action 1)
