Double und Joint Degree Programs
Information for Incoming Double and Joint Degree Students
As a participant of a Double or Joint Degree Program, studying abroad is an integral part of your study program and you spend half of your degree program at the University of Mannheim.
In addition to the degree of your home institution, you will also receive a degree at the University of Mannheim. Double and Joint Degrees are offered in certain study programs and with selected partner universities.
With a double degree program, you will receive, as the name suggests, two degrees, one from your home institution and one from the University of Mannheim.
In the case of a joint degree, you will receive a joint degree certificate from both universities. A joint degree is a combined degree program of the cooperating universities with a common set of study regulations.
