International Agreements and Partnerships / Double Degrees




The Double Degree is a possibility available to students on the FEP's Master's programmes in Finance, and in Management.
It's a unique opportunity to internationalise the FEP's master's programme, allowing students to simultaneously obtain two degrees, in two countries, during the regular master's period (two years).
The Double Degree is an excellent value for money as the student only pays the tuition fees at FEP.
It is also a strong differentiating factor that is valued when integrating into the labour market, and gives the student access to an international network of contacts at internationally renowned schools.

Testimonials
“The Double Degree with Kedge is the ideal match, allowing for an immersive learning year, self-reflection and contact with different cultures. The opportunity to study in two schools such as FEP and Kedge, which is recognized by the Financial Times, allowed me to obtain theorethical bases in the first semester at FEP that later contributed to nurture specialized "in class" knowledge in elective courses at Kedge, such as Consumer Behavior, Strategic Sustainability or Wine Marketing. In addition, the adaptation to another city and another school made me step out of my comfort zone, with the possibility to witness different realities and experiences that made me more adaptable and prepared. Having done the Double Degree contributed to a better performance in my professional and personal life.”
Miguel Martim Leal (Management Decision Support, Porto Business School)
“The Master in Management from FEP has given me an excelent opportunity to deepen knowledge in the main areas of management in one of the best schools of the country. Furthermore, this programme allowed me to join the recognition of FEP and Kedge Business School, an internationally accredited School, through the completion of the Double Degree. Besides having the possibility to specialize in my areas of interest, I was able to do so outside of my comfort zone, in an international, challenging and dynamic context. Completing the Double Degree was undoubtely an excelent decision, given the exponential professional and personal growth it has given me.”
