Benefits of a dual degree
Dual degrees allow you to gain two Bachelor ’ s qualifications in much less time than it takes to study them separately .
Studying at two universities , you ’ ll benefit from the teaching expertise , latest research , facilities and support of both institutions . You ’ ll study more modules than on a single degree , developing a more comprehensive knowledge of your subject . But these dual award courses typically only last 3.5 or 4 years full time , so the length of commitment is not much longer than for a 3-year single degree .
You ’ ll also gain an understanding of different cultures and start to build a global network of contacts , so you can work more effectively with people from different backgrounds – anywhere in the world .
Employers are looking for people who can work in multinational teams , so a dual degree will give you a valuable edge in the competitive global jobs market .
