Double Degrees

No, the double degree is an option it is not compulsory. You can choose to graduate with your undergraduate degree at Northeastern University London and proceed directly into your career.

And, you don’t have to make the decision until your third year at Northeastern University London.

As a full-time undergraduate student, you have two options to earn a unique double degree option with just one additional year of study, granting you work rights in both the US and UK.

Double bachelor’s degree: a UK-validated degree earned during your three-year study at Northeastern University London, plus a US-validated degree in the same discipline with just one additional undergraduate year at Northeastern University’s Boston campus.

UK undergraduate plus US master’s degree: a UK-validated undergraduate degree at Northeastern University London, plus a master’s degree at one of Northeastern University’s campuses in the US or Canada. The master’s could be as short as a year although not guaranteed this length.

Northeastern University London’s double degree programme comprises four-years of study:

Double bachelor’s degree: Students will spend the first three years studying at Northeastern University London, with the option to study overseas on Northeastern University’s campus in Boston during the second semester in their second year. Students will then spend their entire fourth year studying at Northeastern University’s campus in Boston.

Undergraduate plus master’s degree: Students will spend the first three years studying at Northeastern University London, with the option to study overseas on Northeastern University’s campus in Boston during the second semester in their second year. Students will then spend between one and two years, depending on course selections, studying at one of Northeastern University’s campus in the US or Canada.

Students pay Northeastern University London tuition fees for the duration of their three-year bachelor’s degree in London. Study in the US is charged at the local Northeastern University tuition fee rate.

However, there will be no additional tuition fees payable for the optional semester abroad in the second year of undergraduate study. However, students will need to cover the costs of accommodation, food, flights, insurance, and other living costs.

You can explore the option to undertake a fourth year of study when you are in the third year of your degree at Northeastern University London. Your dedicated academic adviser will work with you consider the options available.
