Summary
Ideally, the added value will come from the specific strength of the respective partner institution(s) to form a new and unique program of studies
Graduates of true Multiple Degree Programs will have acquired additional knowledge, competences, and personal development that will go beyond that of other mobile students
the added value will not merely come from equivalent content at a partner university, but from the additional time and effort invested in the completion of a Multiple Degree
