What Is a Dual Degree?

A dual degree is a single, unified academic program that gives you the opportunity to earn two degrees—one American and one European—for the same knowledge area. With two powerful qualifications, your degree will make it recognized* in both the United States and all 27 EU member states, opening doors for international work and further study across continents.

How It Works:

The University of Roehampton is a public research university in London, United Kingdom. Though the UK isn’t a part of the European Union, it is a member of the EHEA, meaning all degree programs in the UK adhere to the Bologna process guidelines and are accredited in Europe.
