Why Students Choose a Dual Degree Program at Amity for a Global Career

Hybrid careers are the future. If you aren’t the Jack of all trades and master of none, then there’s a tough road ahead. That’s why choosing the right course and strategising an international career trajectory matters. Dual degree holders draw 20–30% higher salaries than single-degree graduates. What’s more, 92% of dual degree graduates from premier institutions like Amity secure placements in MNCs or global startups, compared to 78% for single-degree holders.

This new trend of Dual Degrees has been green-lighted by the UGC, which has introduced a ground-breaking policy enabling Indian students to enrol in dual degree programs, both within India and in collaboration with international universities. Under this framework, students must complete at least 30% of their course credits at an Indian institution when partnering with a foreign university.

How Dual Degrees Value-Add to Hybrid Jobs

According to a previous WEF report, jobs requiring tech and business, healthcare and management, or law and data privacy skills will grow by 25% by 2030. This clearly tips in favour of dual degree holders.

Dual degree graduates are three times more likely to secure international work visas owing to their cross-cultural and multidisciplinary training, say other reports.

Hybrid roles align with industry trends, and they resonate with dual degree holders whose skills are honed - like leadership, agility, collaboration, innovation- to meet the industry demands.

Understanding Dual Degree Programs

These include over 150 bachelor's and master's programs in their ambit. This innovative program lets students begin their studies at Amity University in India before transferring to a leading international partner university. Covering fields from business and psychology to engineering and commerce, it's designed for ambitious students seeking global perspectives.

Students graduate with two valuable credentials - one from Amity University and another from their chosen international institution. This approach significantly reduces the financial burden compared to completing an entire degree abroad.
