FAQs
- What certificate(s) do I get at the end of the double degree programme?
After 5 years you will receive an official certificate for both studies you have finished.
- Is it possible to combine WdKA or Codarts with a different study at Erasmus University?
With this double degree you can only combine these studies with “Arts and Culture Studies” at Erasmus University, or with “Liberal Arts and Sciences” at Erasmus University College. You could combine different studies, but then you would have to organise this by yourself.
- What are the proportions of the two studies?
The curriculum of each programme is designed in such a way that you will study at both institutes simultaneously; especially during the first two years you will obtain 30 EC on average at each programme.
- Do students receive a separate BSA per institute?
Yes, each institute issues their own BSA, this means you will have to comply with the BSA requirements of both programmes.
- Is it possible to go on exchange?
This is dependent upon the chosen combination of programmes.
- Is it possible to switch back to one study once I have started the double degree programme?
Yes, as long as you have received a positive BSA for that programme. The length of the remaining programme is dependent on the combination and the year of study.
