Dual Award

Definition overview

1 Definition

A jointly conceived program between the University and an educational partner, where each institution is responsible for its own Award, however the two components together form a single educational experience. Dual Awards are approved according to the University's program accreditation procedures.

There is usually cross-transfer of Credit to allow Students to complete both Awards in a shorter time than if they were completed separately.

On completion of all program requirements, Students receive two separate Awards, one awarded by the University and one awarded by the partner institution, each with its own Testamur.

A Dual Award is conferred under a legally binding arrangement and typically includes reciprocal Student mobility.
