Double Degrees represent an academic training modality in which students complete two distinct higher education programmes at two different institutions, thereby obtaining two officially recognised diplomas. EEG currently has two partnerships at this level: with the University of Rennes I for the Master's in Economics, and with the University of Rome Tor Vergata for the Master's in Finance.
