Double Degree Programme
What is the Double Degree Programme?
The Double/Dual Degree Programme is a collaborative academic initiative between IPB University and its overseas partner universities. It enables students to earn two academic degrees simultaneously – one from IPB and one from the partner university – within one efficient study period.
Students will spend part of their study at IPB and the remainder at the partner university abroad, gaining valuable international academic experience without significantly extending their total study duration.
Programme Highlights
- Earn two academic degrees (from IPB and an international partner university) in one programme
- Gain research and study experience in an international academic environment
- Build a global academic and professional network
- Enhance competitiveness in both national and international job markets
- Opportunity to apply for LPDP Scholarship to fund the overseas study component
