How does the Dual Diploma work?

From KUB to Webster University

Students first complete the KUB exams and curriculum for the 3-year bachelor’s degree, fulfilling all the academic requirements of the Albanian program. The exams taken at KUB are recognized by Webster University through a standardized academic agreement, which significantly reduces the course load that students must take later. Then, the remaining courses and credits required by the 4-year American system are completed at the Webster University branch in Athens, where students benefit from an international study environment. At the end of the program, the student receives an American diploma in addition to the Albanian one, providing two official recognitions with value in the global job market.

During this process, students gain access to Webster University’s laboratories, libraries and advanced academic resources. They have the opportunity to engage in practical activities, international seminars and research projects that enrich their experience. The program also provides administrative and academic support to adapt to the American style of study. Thanks to the recognition of credits, the transition from KUB to Webster is simple and transparent for students. Overall, the Dual Diploma creates a clear and efficient path to an American degree with an international reputation.
