Double-Degree Programs

The double degree program (or double graduation program) involves a student’s working for two university degrees in parallel — either at the same institution or at different institutions (sometimes in different countries) — and completing them in less time than it would have taken to earn them separately. The two degrees might be in the same subject area (especially when the course is split between countries), or in two different subjects.

SPbGASU offers double degree programs with Finnish universities for Bachelor’s degree students of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and the Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Municipal Services.

Choose your preferred field of study in one of the partner universities. Pay attention to the requirements for candidates and the timing of the English language test. Third- and fourth-year students may apply for any of the listed below programs for the 2020 / 2021 academic year.
