Double Diploma

Are you looking for an additional challenge to your current program? Or are you also interested in the Bachelor program of another department at the TU/e? Perhaps a double diploma is an option for you. 

The double diploma program is an option in both the bachelor and master programs. As you don’t need to complete the two full programs of both departments, it’s an attractive way to complete two diplomas. 

Each TU/e department has set requirements and criteria for a double diploma program. The Double Degree requirements BA ID shows the rules for the Industrial Design department. You can find this on the Forms and Files page. Your application needs to be approved by the Examination Committees of both programs of the double diploma. 

If you are considering a double diploma you should contact the academic advisors of both departments and look into the different sets of requirements of the programs. You should be clear about your learning goals and motivation before deciding on a double diploma. It might be that following a double diploma program in the Master is a better choice for you. 

You also need to look into your planning: when will you follow which courses? It might be good to consult both academic advisors on this from each department about feasibility of your planning. 

To make your double diploma official you need to submit a double degree request to the Examination Committees of both programs. You can find the guidelines for submitting a request through on the Forms and Files page
