Apply to a Double Degree Programme
Åbo Akademi University has a number of agreements regarding Double degree programmes and Joint programmes.
These agreements enable students within these programmes to study at two universities and graduate from both. Students participating in the programmes complete one part of their degree at Åbo Akademi University and another part of their degree at the partner university. The agreements are programme-specific meaning that in order to take part in the joint or double programme you need to be a student within the programme the agreement is made for. Below you can find links to the double degree programmes we currently offer to our students.
If you are a student at a university which is part of one of the below programmes, please start by contacting your own university’s coordinators for more information. Students not at universities taking part are not eligible to apply!
Why study in a Double degree programme?
- Double degree programmes make it possible for two or more universities to combine their expertise and to hence be able to offer a specialization that the universities can not offer on their own.
- Mobility is always part of a Double degree programme. As a student you gain international experience but you need not worry about finding a suitable university to go on exchange to as the mobility period at the partner university is a natural part of the degree.
