A dual degree (also known as a double degree or joint degree) refers to an educational program where a student works towards two different academic or professional degrees in parallel, either at the same institution or at different institutions.

Dual-degree programs are usually designed to offer students an opportunity to gain diverse academic experiences and qualifications in a reduced time frame compared to pursuing the degrees separately. Dual degrees can be offered at the undergraduate or postgraduate level across various disciplines, such as business, law, engineering, and the arts. The structure of dual degree programs varies significantly, with some requiring a unified curriculum and others allowing more flexibility in course selection. Upon completion, graduates receive two academic degrees, which may enhance career prospects, broaden expertise, and offer a more global perspective in their field of study.
