These programmes allow participants to earn both the IOMBA and another graduate degree from the partner university. The curriculum of both degrees is integrated into a single study plan agreed upon by the two institutions, allowing students to earn the two degrees in less time than getting both degrees individually. In addition, students benefit from access to both university resources, and work and research experience in diverse parts of the world.
Currently, the IOMBA offers double degrees with the following partners:
