The double degrees developed in the project lead to longer stays abroad for the students and thus to more binding planning. The double degrees explicitly provide for NGU students to acquire additional humanities competencies in their curricula, beyond the subject matter of economics and business administration. Foreign students from partner universities with a strong university focus increase their professional qualifications and thus their chances on the (global) job market through the compulsory internship and the stronger practical orientation of universities of applied sciences.
The idea is to start with a double degree for B.Sc. Business administration with Linfield university, with B.Sc. International Financial Management with Dankook University and Università di Pisa, and with B.Sc. Economics with Universidad Panamericana.The partners will receive a double degree in our B.Sc. International Financial Management with the track of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. A special role is assigned to Linfield University: their students will receive an MBA in International Management.
From a strategic point of view, the project has model character for further double degrees at NGU. The model can be extended to other partner universities as well as to other degree programs.
