WHAT ARE THEY?
Brand alliances that provide differential value to the student through synergies between universities in two countries with a unique and exclusive academic offer.
WHY CREATING a Program Partnership?
International alliances bring innovation and improve offerings to our students
The reality of today’s university landscape is that partnerships and global programs are key to better serving students by merging talent, expertise, technology and purpose. Developing value-aligned partnerships that focus on common goals and complementary strengths is key to ensuring successful outcomes for all: universities and students.

Benefits for students
- Enhanced networking opportunities
Access to network from each respective university (professors, professionals and real-world organizations), along with the connections made with classmates, is valuable for advancing a professional career. Dual
Degree students experience the opportunity of creating a unique network in two different industries and this proves highly advantageous when it comes time to dive into their professional careers. - Broader career possibilities
Graduating with a Dual Degree offers students a competitive advantage when searching for jobs. Our Program Partnerships can greatly improve short- and long-term career flexibility in a constantly changing job
market. With two specializations, students have a broader perspective of different industries, giving them a unique professional profile and helping them gain versatility. - Utimate added-value education
As technology connects companies and the job market becomes more competitive, real-world application of learned skills becomes significantly more important. The best Dual Degree programs take advantage of the
businesses and corporations in their own backyard to create consulting projects, case competitions, client fellowships and management simulations — experience-based learning programs that can teach students to
thrive in a competitive corporate landscape and apply skills from both of their programs of study in a dynamic environment. Combining two universities’ teachings with real-world experience provides students the
ultimate added-value education. - Two well-positioned universities
Students can take advantage of each school’s strengths (maybe one has a great internship program, while the other has well-equipped research facilities) to jumpstart their careers. Our Program Partnerships are
hybrid programs that more accurately reflect the skills and challenges that graduates will face in the working world. Universities tap into each other’s resources, networks and offerings to better tailor the
programs to students’ needs, thus developing alumni who are more satisfied, engaged, prepared and successful. - A more holistic profile
Our Dual Degree students will find themselves positioned on the threshold of two different but converging areas. Students develop multiple ways of critically approaching complex issues from diverse perspectives
in their programs. These holistic degrees provide our students with unique problem-solving capabilities, allowing them to apply their versatile training to diverse contexts.
