A student who has been accepted to the EDISS programme and who has successfully completed their studies under this programme will be awarded a double degree. One of the diplomas is always awarded by AAU (Finland), and the other diploma is awarded by the partner university that hosts the student during the second-year specialization track. Both of the diplomas are officially recognized legal documents and they state that the student has completed a master’s degree at the university in question.
Depending on the chosen second-year specialization track followed during the EDISS programme, the Student will obtain one of the following degrees in addition to the Master of Science degree (Technology) in Computer Engineering received from AAU:
- Master of Science in Computer Science or Master of Science in Computer Science with specialization in Software Engineering (depending on the chosen courses) from MDU
- Master’s degree in Computer Science from UAQ
- Master’s degree in Intelligent Systems from UIB
In addition, each student who has been accepted to the EDISS programme and who has successfully completed their studies in this programme will receive a Joint Diploma Supplement alongside with the master’s degree diplomas. The Joint Diploma Supplement will provide a description of the nature, level, content, context and status of the studies pursued and successfully completed by the student.
