Arqus Universities explore new double degree opportunities at the University of Minho

The School of Economics, Management and Political Science (EEG) of the University of Minho hosted an Arqus meeting on the double degree in business, data analytics, and economics. The initiative took place between October 1-3, and it was attended by a delegation from Vilnius University and the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.

Coordinated by Ana Paula Faria, a professor at EEG, the meeting introduced the courses of the University of Minho to the school of economics, management, and political science to design a possible path for students from Vilnius and  Kyiv-Mohyla Academy who wish to attend UMinho, focusing on a potential double degree between the Arqus Universities and the Ukrainian partner University. 

According to Ana Paula Faira, the implementation of this double degree will provide students of the degree in economics at EEG, University of Minho, not only with two diplomas but with skills in digital technologies that are and will become essential in the job market, in addition to a deeper internationalisation experience than that lived in an Erasmus program.

The design of this type of programme reflects a common perspective of Arqus universities on the curriculum and its implementation, as well as on the procedures and processes of assessment and accreditation. Reinforcing the Alliance’s commitment to student-centred and research-based learning through joint and flexible curricula.
