Double Degree Programs (master’s students)
Double Degree Programs (DDPs) involve collaboration between multiple universities, departments, or disciplines to offer curricula that allow students to earn two degrees simultaneously. By earning multiple degrees, students can develop interdisciplinary skills, and in the case of DDPs with foreign universities, they also gain international competence, a significant advantage for their careers and academic pursuits. This program promotes and supports DDPs, as they are a valuable form of inter-university exchange in the sciences. The DDPs supported by this program are as follows:
1
DDP in Pure and Applied Sciences（University of Tsukuba and Grenoble-Alpes University）
UT’s Degree Programs
Master’s Program in Chemistry, Master’s Program in Engineering Sciences, Master’s Program in Materials Innovation
Application
After students go through the selection process at UGA, the University of Tsukuba will conduct an oral examination.
