If you are a registered student in a double degree partner university of SAMK – this is an opportunity for you.
Completing a double degree programme means that you complete part of your studies in a selected partner institution. You will obtain two degrees when graduating: one from SAMK and one from the partner institution.
An international double degree is a form of collaboration between SAMK and an international higher education institution. The higher education institutions have their own degree programmes and curricula, and the students perform an agreed part of their studies included in their degree abroad at the partner university and are given a degree certificate from both institutions.
With the double degree you can develop your competence and skills deeper than during an ordinary student exchange period, because in the double degree you have a pre-agreed programme of the studies to take, their extent and correspondence at both institutions (e.g. studies, practical training, thesis). This is to ensure that the studies in the programme give both of your degrees qualitative added value and enable taking two degrees simultaneously. A double degree will improve your chances for postgraduate studies and gives you an advantage in the international labour market. It will also increase your multicultural and language skills.
To be able to apply to SAMK as a double degree student, an official nomination is required by your home university. Once you have been nominated, we will send you the application instructions via email and more information after acceptance. For more information on how to apply, please contact the faculty and international services of your university or Saija Arslan in SAMK campus Rauma.
