Unicollege Double Degree Programs

Unicollege’s international network consists of over 60 strategic partners across 20 countries, spanning from Argentina to Taiwan. This growing global community of academics, professionals, and students actively participates in bilateral exchanges across institutions worldwide, enriching the academic and cultural experiences of all Unicollege students.

In addition to academic mobility programs, international internships, and bilateral agreements, Unicollege has established exclusive academic partnerships that offer Double Degree Programs—an exceptional and rare opportunity within the Italian and international SSML academic network.

As a Unicollege student, you have the chance to earn two corresponding and fully recognized degrees (legally, academically, professionally, and competitively) by spending a semester or academic year abroad at a prestigious partner university. This means you can obtain two degrees in just three years or more—a unique advantage available exclusively to Unicollege students, granting access to international prestige, academic recognition, and career-enhancing opportunities from the early years of their education.

• Reduce study duration by up to 400% for obtaining two degrees.
• Minimize housing expenses for students living away from home.
• Cut costs on academic resources and textbooks by up to 400%.

Enhanced Academic & Career Prospects

• Gain proficiency in a new language or reinforce existing linguistic skills, leading to an increase in average salary by up to 50%.
• Earn additional points (+100%) for (Italian) public exams and employment opportunities
• Improve employment competitiveness, with up to an 80% increase in job placement rates within five years after graduation.

Global Networking & Personal Growth

• • Build an international network of students, faculty, and professionals.
  • Gain an unparalleled academic, linguistic, cultural, and personal experience.

A Double Degree program allows students to earn two separate degrees by completing part of their studies at both:

• Their home university (Unicollege)
• A host university (partner institution)

To qualify for a Double Degree, the academic programs of both universities must align, ensuring compatibility between the Unicollege degree (L12) and the partner institution’s curriculum.

Through a detailed course comparison, both institutions establish a validated study plan outlining completed coursework and remaining courses (outstanding courses) required for degree completion. This structure ensures that students graduate with two fully recognized degrees in both jurisdictions.

Duration:

• A minimum of one semester and a maximum of two years, depending on:
  • National regulations
  • Institutional agreements
  • Curriculum compatibility

Financial Structure:

• Participation costs vary based on agreements with each university. Options range from:
  • Full tuition coverage for Unicollege students
  • Partial or full tuition fees at the host university for additional services
• Detailed financial conditions are provided in the specific Double Degree regulations for each partner university.

“The double degree program has been nothing short of extraordinary. I’ve learned a lot about topics on english and american cultures and civilization that we don’t necessarily learn back home in Portugal, as well as learned the italian language and italian literature. It has impacted me not only as a university student, but also as a person, due to the amount of traveling I’ve done and also to the amazing friends I’ve encountered while in Italy.”
