Dual/Joint Degree Programs
Types of Programs
Same-Study-Level Degree Program
International Dual/Joint Degree Programs, whether at the university-level, college-level, or department-level, are mutually cooperated with partner universities that agree to send degree-seeking students abroad and receive degree-seeking students from partner universities bilaterally and allow enrolled students to achieve two (2) university degrees within the study period for the approved degree.
Students studying at their home institution for at least one (1) semester are eligible to apply for the program. Upon successful completion of the curriculum requirements of both institutions, students will be conferred with two (2) diplomas simultaneously.
3+2 Bachelor’s Master’s Degree Program
Bachelor students who wish to join the 3+2 Bachelor’s Master’s Degree Program will study at NTU for 3 years and do the 4th year abroad. After fulfilling NTU’s graduation requirements, the student will get NTU’s bachelor diploma to continue with the 2nd year study abroad. Upon fulfilling the partner university’s Master’s degree graduation requirements, the student will get a Master’s diploma from that university.
