Double Degree Program
The general cooperation agreements signed between UFSC and international educational institutions provide for a series of activities to be carried out jointly by the institutions. However, some of these activities require a specific agreement to regulate them, as is the case of the Double Degree (DD) Program.
The International Double Degree Program allows UFSC undergraduate students and those from higher education institutions abroad to obtain a double degree recognized by UFSC and the foreign university, upon completion of the studies, under the terms of the specific agreement and the provisions of the Normative Resolution no. 37/CUn/2013.
Currently, the process gets started by an undergraduate program and undergoes approval by several university bodies. See more at the Prorectorate for Undergraduate Studies and Basic Education (PROGRAD) website.
With the increase in demand for double degrees, a commission was created at UFSC to review the current process, propose improvements, prepare a new draft for the specific agreement and update the current Resolution, which is dated 2013. All this work is being carried out to optimize the process and allow for more undergraduate students at UFSC to be able to apply for the program, in addition to fostering the university’s internalization process.
Below, we answer some of the students’ frequently asked questions about the topic:
Q: Can I choose an institution and do a double degree independently?
Q: How do I know if my Program has a double degree agreement with a foreign institution?
Q: I am interested in a double degree agreement signed by my Program. Who do I talk to?
Q: What if my Program does not have a double degree agreement?
