Food Science and Technology - Double Degree
A Double Degree, known also as Dual or combined degree, allow you to be enrolled in parallel in two study programs developed in two universities (the own and the “host” one located in another country) so you could gain a more comprehensive knowledge of the specific disciplines. Part of the study program has to be carried out at the hosting university and by studying abroad you will enrich your learning experience and enhance your personal and professional skills in a European or international perspective.
A dual degree is a worthwhile endeavour and can be beneficial for your future professional career, even if it does demand a little more commitment and self-discipline, as well as excellent time management skills as you adapt to alternative teaching styles and overcome language barriers.
Each university provide for the offer of all the courses and of the activities necessary to achieve the qualification, which, on the basis of the bilateral agreement, are required for the completion of the study program during your mobility at the host university.
At the end of the study programme the two partner institutions of the Double degree study program will issue each the national title to the students, following the bilateral agreement rules.
The curriculum “Food Science and Technology – Double Degree with the Chulalongkorn University” implies that students enrolled at the university of Teramo will spend minimum two semesters (= 9 months) at the Chulalongkorn University (CU) starting from the beginning of the 1st semester of the 2nd year (August each year). During this time, they have to follow classes, take exams of three courses, carry out the research project for the Master degree thesis and deliver two seminars on the project thesis.
The participating institutions, namely the University of Teramo and the Chulalongkorn University, will issue at the end of the study program, both the Italian and Thai national titles to the students following the bilateral agreement.
