Studying under a double degree program enables students to receive two diplomas (one from the home university and one from the partner university) during a shorter time, than if the studies would be done at each university separately.
For foreign students to be part of this program at our university UCT Prague has to have a Master Double Degree agreement with their home university. The two partner universities recognise the courses of the partner university in the particular study program – the study plan of Master Double Degree is arranged in a way, that students fulfil requirements to receive a diploma at both universities.
Students who successfully finish this program receive two diplomas from two different countries, which gives them advantages for their future career.
