Individual master double degree CE-AES / CME / ENV

Master students can opt for an Individual Double Degree (IDD). Start by downloading the IDD Application Form on the student web portal. In this Excel file you will find more information about the IDD itself, the procedure to apply as well as the minimum requirements. There is a different form available if changes are proposed to the originally approved IDD programme.

Before you send the application form to the Board of Examiners CEG, the MSc coordinators of both tracks should be consulted and be in agreement with the composition of the programme as well as the plan for the MSc coordinator(s), or by attaching a confirmation letter with signature of your MSc coordinator(s).

In addition to the information published on the form, the Board of Examiners CEG has to set requirements regarding the MSc thesis, within an Individual Double Degree programme.

Also, see the request checker below, to make sure you do not miss any steps in the process.
