Double Degree programs — earn two degrees in four years

A Double Degree program offers students the opportunity to earn two university degrees through a unique international partnership between Brock University and a partner university abroad. Students study in both Canada and overseas, gaining international academic experience, cross-cultural skills, and global perspectives while completing the requirements for two recognized degrees — all within one integrated program.

Designed for students seeking a global edge, Double Degree programs combine academic excellence, international mobility, and career-ready experiences that prepare graduates to succeed in an increasingly connected world.

Why choose a Double Degree?

How it works

Students complete their degree across two institutions, beginning their studies at Brock University before spending a year abroad at one of Brock’s international partner universities. This integrated pathway allows students to gain international academic experience while working toward two degrees.

Brock University (Canada).

What does it cost?

A Double Degree offers students an affordable way to earn two internationally recognized degrees while gaining valuable global experience.

Goodman professor and student in conversation
  • Pay tuition only to Brock University for all four years, including your time studying abroad
  • Save on international tuition costs while still accessing a world-class global education experience
  • Continue receiving renewable Brock scholarships as long as eligibility requirements are maintained
  • Remain eligible for OSAP funding while studying abroad as a full-time student
  • Invest in your future through international learning, cultural experiences, and career-ready skill development

Students are responsible for travel, housing, and day-to-day living expenses during their time abroad. However, the Double Degree structure helps make international study more financially accessible compared to completing two separate degrees independently.
