Double Degree Programme Structure

Learn more about how you can combine your NHH studies with the offerings of our partner schools.

First-year graduate students must ensure that their study plan aligns with the requirements of their selected partner school.

The Majors and Options tab provides an overview of possible combinations and the number of available places for NHH students.

In the Partner University tabs, you will find further details for each school. PDF files titled “Program Structure” explain how NHH majors can be combined with partner school programs and specify the degrees you will be eligible to receive.
