|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Why should I take this dual degree programme? |
|
|
The dual degree would give students recognition from both universities that will add value to the degree. It also gives students the flexibility and mobility to transfer and continue the programme in UWE at any time with the same dual degree upon completion.
| |
|
|
|
|
3.
How can we get two certificates with a dual degree? |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
This is a special arrangement between TUC and UWE only. Students can articulate to other Universities (UK & Australia) after Year 1 or Year 2; however, they won’t get a Taylor’s or a UWE degree.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. How flexible is this arrangement? Can I transfer to UWE whenever I want? |
|
|
This dual degree arrangement is very flexible. Hence, students have an option to transfer to UWE on a 1+2 or 2+1. Arrangements have been made to match subjects that you take in TUC with the UWE syllabus.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Yes. It is recognised by The Ministry of Education in both countries and recognised internationally.

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
