Dual Degree
Definition
A Dual Degree is a study model where students simultaneously earn two degrees at two different universities – often in different countries. In the MBA field, dual degree programs enable the acquisition of an MBA together with another Master's degree (e.g., in Finance, Engineering, or International Management). Advantages include an expanded international network, intercultural experience, and two recognized degrees in a shorter study period.
Example: "In the dual degree she received qualifications from a German and a French institution."
