Programme | Double degree | Business Administration

Expand your knowledge and skills with a double degree!

Are you interested in the Master’s in Business Administration, but do you want more? We offer you the possibility to follow a double degree with one of our partner universities, or even other master’s at UT. Upon completion, you receive two separate Master’s degrees.

What is a double degree?

With a double degree, you follow two different Master’s simultaneously, either at the same university or at another one (abroad). Upon successful completion of a double degree programme, you obtain two separate diplomas, awarded by the University of Twente and (if applicable) one of our partner universities.

As you are doing two programmes at the same time, it will take less time to obtain two degrees than it would if you obtained them one after the other. Usually, the study load of a double degree is heavier than that of a ‘standard’ Master’s programme.

Within the Master’s in Business Administration, we offer multiple double degree programmes with different universities, such as the Technische Universität Berlin in Germany, the University of L'Aquila (UA) in Italy, or the Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) in Finland. You can also obtain a double degree with the UT master’s in Communication Science or Philosophy of Science, Technology, Society (UT).
