Double Degree Options

A double degree is a combined study program leading to two Master’s degrees from two universities. In this case, you will earn the Master of International Business (MIB) degree from Queen’s University and a corresponding Master’s degree from one of our global double degree partners. (See list below) Double degree programs have been in existence for many years in Europe, but are only now gaining prominence in other parts of the world, notably Asia. In North America, Queen’s School of Business is among the pioneers in this exciting trend in management education.

Benefits of a Double-Degree

Double degree options provide a much broader perspective and additional learning as compared to the more conventional single degree option. In addition, having a second degree from an international business school will differentiate you from graduates of other business programs. If you envision yourself working in other countries or for multi-national organizations during your career, the double degree options will provide you with the global insight and experience recruiters are looking for. Even if you don’t plan to work outside of your home country, the international experience gained from a double degree option will help you better understand and collaborate with your future colleagues, business partners and customers throughout the world.

Other benefits of a double degree include:

The opportunity to earn 2 Master's degrees in less time and for considerably less money than it would take to earn them separately
The benefit of career support from both universities
Access to the alumni organizations of both universities and an invaluable international professional network
Participation in internships or business projects (available in several of the double degree options)
The opportunity to develop functionality in a foreign language (available in some of the double degree options)

These are highly selective programs with very limited space. Early applications are encouraged. Please speak to an Application Advisor.
