What is a double degree?

A double Master's degree consists of two national degrees awarded by the University of Twente and one of our partner universities after the successful completion of a double degree programme. The degrees are officially recognized in the countries in which the awarding institutions are located, and consist of two different documents.

You will be following two different Master programmes simultaneously, at two institutions. Doing two programmes at the same time means you will not need as much as time to obtain two degrees than you would if you took the programmes consecutively. Usually, the study load for students following a joint programme is heavier than that of a ‘standard’ Master’s programme.
