Dual degree programmes

The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) offers a range of dual degree options both at Bachelor and Master level, in collaboration with international partner universities in Chile, China, Italy, France, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Norway, Portugal and Sweden. In all these programmes students study part of the curriculum at the University of Groningen and part at the partner university.

Why participate in a dual degree programme?

• To earn two accredited degrees from two internationally renowned universities;
• To broaden or deepen your FEB curriculum by studying at a partner university;
• To increase your intercultural competences and expand your international network;
• To learn to work in diverse teams and improve foreign language skills;
• To enhance your career opportunities.

Where can you study?

Dual degree programmes can have two study paths, one for FEB students and one for students from the partner university. The study path for FEB students will usually start with a period of study at FEB, after which students progress to the partner, while the study path for partner studenst starts with a period of study at the partner, after which students complete the programme at FEB.

Please note that the dual degree Bachelor programmes of the BSc International Business with Universtitas Indonesia, Universitas Gadjah Mada and Institut Teknologi Bandung are not open to FEB students, since they only have a study path for students that start their studies at the partner university. All other Dual degree Bachelor and Master programmes are open to FEB students.

In most of the cases, the study path for FEB students starts with a period of study at FEB. In some cases, it starts with a period of study at the partner university (i.e. both FEB students and partner students follow the same study path, starting at the partner). This is the case for the dual degree Master of the MSc International Economics and Sustainable Development with Georg-August-Universität Göttingen; the dual degree Master of the MSc Supply Chain Management with Católica Porto Business School, and the dual degree Master of the MSc Finance with Alexandru Ioan Cuza University.
