What if your BCIT degree could take you to Austria, Belgium, Germany, or Switzerland, and lead to a second international degree?
Through the BCIT School of Business + Media Double Degree program, eligible Bachelor of Accounting and Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) students can complete part of their studies at a partner university in Europe and graduate with two bachelor’s degrees: one from BCIT and one from their international institution.
Why choose a double degree?
Business is global, and your education can be too. A Double Degree lets you experience business from a new perspective, build international connections, immerse yourself in another culture, and gain experience that can strengthen your future career.
After completing an eligible BCIT diploma and progressing into a business degree, students can spend approximately two semesters abroad, with some options including an international internship.
Financial support may also be available through the Glenna Urschatz International Award and other partner or government funding opportunities.
Take your accounting degree to Vienna, Austria
Study at the University of Applied Sciences BFI Vienna and earn a Bachelor of Arts in Banking and Finance. Spend two academic terms, or one academic and one internship term, in one of Europe’s major financial centres.
