{{short description|Two academic or professional degrees in parallel study}}{{Use dmy dates|date=May 2020}}A
dual degree (also known as a
double degree or
joint degree) refers to an educational program where a student works towards two different academic or professional degrees in parallel, either at the same institution or at different institutions.Dual-degree programs are usually designed to offer students an opportunity to gain diverse academic experiences and qualifications in a reduced time frame compared to pursuing the degrees separately. Dual degrees can be offered at the undergraduate or postgraduate level across various disciplines, such as business, law, engineering, and the arts. The structure of dual degree programs varies significantly, with some requiring a unified curriculum and others allowing more flexibility in course selection. Upon completion, graduates receive two academic degrees, which may enhance career prospects, broaden expertise, and offer a more global perspective in their field of study.

Universitas Indonesia is among the first universities in Indonesia to offer a double degree program. This was early introduced into their
Faculty of Medicine through the 3+1 scheme. Students will receive a degree from
Universitas Indonesia (for the
Bachelor of Medicine) and another from
University of Newcastle upon Tyne (for the
Master of Research) together with the
Medical Doctor (M.D.) earned during the professional phase held subsequently after completing their times abroad. Considered as a fast track initiative, students get to pursue both their undergraduate bachelors and postgraduate masters in just a period of four years time. Less research-inclined students are given an option to continue their studies in Australia, with the
University of Melbourne and
Monash University both awarding the
Bachelor of Medical Science (BMedSc). Established since 1999, this medical program is only available through
