Double Degree Programme

A Double Degree programme gives you the best of two worlds. By joining academic forces with some of our partners, INN University offers a unique study programme that gives you a full year abroad and a degree from two institutions upon completion.

Join us for your Double Degree

The Double Degree programme offers selected students an opportunity to receive a degree from their home institution and INN University. Students must complete the course requirements at their home institution and INN University to qualify for the Double Degree Diploma. 

The INN University Diploma can only be created once the Diploma from the home institution has been made. 

Financing your stay

All Double Degree exchange students are exempt from paying any tuition and semester fees to INN University. However, they must pay their home institution's enrolment fees and other taxes.

Students partaking in the programme are eligible for the Erasmus+ scholarship. To learn more about Erasmus+ financial support, please contact the International Office/Department/another office at your home institution.
