New degree format doubles the academic success

For high school seniors with an interest in more than one field of study, newly launched dual degree programs at universities in Shanghai could be the ideal solution.

In June, the Shanghai Academic Degrees Committee announced the first batch of 24 dual bachelor's degree programs at seven universities in the city.

A total of seven projects, including one that integrates the major of naval architecture and ocean engineering with math and applied math, are from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Four programs, covering a combination of finance and statistics, are from East China Normal University.
