what is a double degree?

A Double Degree programme is an opportunity to get two degrees from different institutions in a shorter amount of time. Students have to spend one year abroad at the partner university and prepare their thesis with mentors from both universities. Credits passed at the partner university will be recogniyed at FRI. Therefore, students will obtain two diplomas from the two insitutions.

 

Why a double degree?

Studying abroad is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for an intercultural experience. From the personal growth to learning from different perspectives and methods in your study field, an exchange has multiple advantages, like:

  • Students will have two degrees from different institutions
  • Job oportunities for students with a Double Degree are higher and better positioned, since companys are ever more looking for students who have international experience and know how to work in international teams
  • Enhancing your Curriculum, for students will have learned from different perspectives and methods
  • Personal growth and self improvement due to living independently abroad
  • Autonomous work in dealing with day-to-day difficulties
  • Interacting with a different culture, new ideas and new social behaviours
  • Learning new languages or improve profiency in English
  • Gain social soft skills
  • Learning more about the international job market

All students who have studied abroad say the same: it was the best and most gratifying experience of their lives and anyone should take advantage of such kind of opportunities.
