How our Dual Degrees work

Two degrees at your own pace and as flexible as you need

When you graduate, you will have two official university degrees, not a single joint degree. That is why the dual degrees at CEU are designed to meet your needs, with customized study paths to suit the pace you need to study at and to take into account any international study visits. We will take care of everything with regard to the credit recognition system – let us worry about it.

Dual degree and double the pay-off, but not double the price

Study for a dual degree will give you two degree qualifications, but you will not have to pay the full annual fees for both programs. As a rough guide, if one degree costs you 100 euros, the dual degree will cost you 130. Just ask us for more details.

No switching campus and no complex bureaucracy

You will study for the dual degree in the same building, so you will not have to commute between lectures. There will be a single case manager for your study path, and so there is no complex bureaucratic system to navigate. You will get a dual degree, but without the usual administrative complications.
