Joint & Double Degrees
Five-year joint bachelor’s/master’s programs permit undergraduate students to move to the US during their fourth year.
Successful students earn a bachelor’s degree (from home university) at the end of their fourth year and a US master’s degree at the end of their fifth year.
A double degree program, sometimes called a dual degree, combined degree, conjoint degree, joint degree, or simultaneous degree program.
Involves a student’s working for two different university degrees in parallel, either at the same institution or at different institutions (sometimes in different countries), completing them in less time than it would take to earn them separately.
The two degrees might be in the same subject area (especially when the course is split between countries), or in two different subjects.
