Double Degree in International Business Management, Master

Take your expertise global with a double Master’s degree.

SEAMK’s Master-level double degree (DD) programme allows students in International Business Management to earn two master’s degree certificates – one from SEAMK and one from a trusted international partner institution. This programme provides advanced professional knowledge, international perspectives, and strong intercultural skills valued by employers worldwide.

The programme is designed to provide students with a broad and diverse educational experience, exposing them to different academic cultures, teaching methods and research perspectives.

All double degree studies are based on active double degree agreements between SEAMK and double degree partner institutions. Students can only be nominated as double degree applicants when there is a valid double degree agreement between the degree programme at the home institution and the equivalent double degree partner institution programme. See the list of all double degree partner institutions on the International partner universities webpage.(Opens in a new window)(Opens in a new window)

The following students can apply to the programme:

    • Students enrolled at a double degree partner university of SEAMK.
      Before applying for the double degree at SEAMK, the student must first be eligible and approved for the double degree studies by their home institution.
      The English language skills of students should be at least on level B2 on the European language scale.
      Applicants must have a Bachelor degree, along with a minimum of two years of work experience gained post-completion of the Bachelor degree and prior to enrollment in a master’s program.
      Please check the detailed eligibility criteria to Master-level double degree programme at SEAMK here: Eligibility criteria for Master double degree students | SEAMK.fi
    • SEAMK degree students registered in the Master-level programme in the field of International Business Management or Business Competence.
      Those who are interested in a double degree must first discuss the matter with the Head of Master School and the Study Counsellor.
      After double degree eligibility approval by their own degree programme, students can contact SEAMK International Education Services for further information about the double degree requirements, partner universities and the application process.

 

  • Students arriving from a DD partner institution to SEAMK study approximately 15 ECTS of the courses on SEAMK Campus.
    (If the mobility stay on SEAMK campus is funded via Erasmus+, we recommend one full semester of courses taking place between the first orientation day until the semester closing event, to meet the Erasmus+ programme requirements.)
  • SEAMK students taking double degree courses at partner institution study at the host campus for one semester.
  • Master thesis 30 ECTS is written in English, according to instructions of the host institution (not the student’s home institution). A responsible supervisor will be named from the host institution and the thesis needs to meet the requirements of both institutions.
