Welcome to Double Degree programmes Seminar

Welcome to a seminar about experiences and best practices in running Double Degree programmes!

For three years STINT has supported the development of double degree programmes at Swedish universities through the Grants for Double Degrees programmes. During this time, we have seen a lot of enthusiasm and interest in double degrees at Swedish universities, but also understood that there is a need to share experiences and discuss related issues. With this seminar we offer a possibility for knowledge transfer and networking in the Swedish double degree community.

Participants
The seminar should be of particular interest for people developing or administrating double degree programmes at Swedish institutions. Representatives from on-going Double Degree projects have been asked to participate and share their insights.
