  3. Double/Dual/Joint Degrees Terminology is not clearly defined, often used synonymously EUA: “Unfortunately, there is no common definition of what constitutes "joint" degrees, "double" degrees and "integrated" programmes or curricula. Different terms are sometimes used to mean the same thing, and one term is sometimes used to signify different things.“

  4. Double Degrees Students fulfill the requirements of two study programmes in two different academic fields. Double degrees lead to a qualification in two subjects from two disciplines which are not closely related. For example, a Bachelor of Arts can be combined with a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Science with a Bachelor of Engineering.

  5. Dual Degrees Students fulfill the requirements of two degree programmes in closely related or similar subjects, normally at two universities in different countries. Credits achieved abroad are mutually recognized. Both degree programmes fulfill the national requirements.

  6. Joint Degrees ONE study programme with a jointly developed curriculum ONE certificate issued by the two (or more) participating universities ONE accreditation process (international accreditation) Equal length of study periods at each of the partner universities Full recognition of study periods spent at a partner university
