Program structure
The NISS programme applies a model where students study at a home and host university. The home university is where the student spends the first part of the programme of at least two semesters. The host university is where the student spends the second part of the programme via his/her mobility period of at least 30 ECTS.
Students successfully completing the programme will be awarded a double degree, one from each of the two universities where the student has studied.
