Twelve students of Azerbaijan University have earned the right to continue their studies at partner universities in Turkiye, Italy, Germany, and Poland within the framework of international double degree and interuniversity exchange programs. Nine undergraduate and three graduate students will study abroad during the spring semester of the 2025/2026 academic year in accordance with the University`s internationalization strategy. In addition to academic studies, the students will also undertake professional internships. All participants will be provided with scholarships.

The international double degree program significantly enhances graduates` competitiveness in the global labor market by enabling them to obtain two internationally recognized diplomas. Students participating in exchange programs are exposed to diverse academic approaches and teaching methodologies. This experience contributes to the improvement of their language proficiency, broadens their perspectives, and fosters independent thinking, adaptability, and effective engagement within an international academic environment. Completing internships abroad in real professional settings also plays a crucial role in shaping their future career planning.
