Double degree is an ever more becoming popular way of getting two degrees with the sacrifices of getting only one degree. However, there are some myths about it, so let me shortly clarify how it works and the principles behind it.

So what doing a master double degree means simply is that the student follows a combined study plan of two master degrees from two business schools. It usually means that half of the duration of the dual degree is at one of the institutions, and the second half at the other one. The concept of the double degree is based on the cross recognition of the exams done abroad, the exams the student takes at the host school is accepted by the home school and vice versa. This way the student can satisfy the criteria of obtaining the master degree at both b schools simultaneously. The name comes with the concept that it is actually about two master degrees, however, the simplified study plan, based on the agreement of the two educational institutions.

Employers and recruiters appreciate dual degrees, as they are in theory shows double of the theoretical knowledge and most times only the best students are taken for master double degrees.
