Achieve your ambitions with a dual degree

Studying with two universities instead of one means you’ll get twice the support and services. And you’ll benefit from a broader range of expertise because you’ll learn from experts at both IU and LIBF.

Why study a dual degree?

No extra study or costs  

Complete our courses no matter where you are in the world without travelling to the UK or Germany. Without paying extra fees or studying extra modules, you’ll automatically be awarded the second degree if you meet the entry criteria.

Support from two institutions   

Add two degrees from internationally recognised universities to your CV. You’ll get support and academic knowledge from experts in both the UK and Germany.

International opportunities  

Equip yourself for an international career or a rewarding role at a global business. You’ll impress employers with extensive expertise and your ability to demonstrate global insight.

Wherever you are, whatever your ambitions 

Do you want to expand your expertise in business, management, data science or finance to start – or progress – in your career? Now you can – no matter where in the world you are – with online study.

The London Institute of Banking and Finance (LIBF) and the International University of Applied Sciences (IU) have come together to offer five new online dual degrees.

That means you can now:

  • learn from industry experts from both the UK and Germany

  • benefit from their combined expertise of over 160 years

  • earn two degrees from two prestigious institutions, and fit your study around your life.

Expert support from IU

Studying with two universities instead of one means you’ll get twice the support and services. And you’ll benefit from a broader range of expertise because you’ll learn from experts at both LIBF and IU.

IU have supported 100,000 learners around the world – and that number keeps on growing.

And you’ll find everything you need on their state-of-the-art online learning hub, MyCampus – from digital learning resources to personal and academic support – so you can make the most of your course.
