Azerbaijan University of Languages (ADU), within the framework of international cooperation, has developed and approved a 1+1 dual degree master’s program in partnership with the University of Portsmouth (United Kingdom).
This dual degree program offers ADU master’s students the opportunity to complete their first year of study at ADU and their second year at the University of Portsmouth, earning diplomas from both institutions upon graduation.
This educational model, which holds significant importance for the expansion of ADU’s international relations, offers a number of advantages to students: access to the University of Portsmouth’s modern research laboratories and resources enhances students’ scientific potential, fosters the improvement of their English language proficiency, and enables its application at an academic level. Studying in two distinct academic environments enriches students' knowledge and skills through diverse educational approaches. Graduates holding diplomas from both universities become more competitive in the international labor market, with broader career opportunities.
The partnership with the University of Portsmouth plays a crucial role in expanding the Azerbaijan University of Languages' international cooperation, increasing its recognition on global academic platforms, enhancing its international competitiveness, and improving the quality of education. This collaboration, which offers students wider academic and professional prospects, also represents one of ADU’s successful steps towards the internationalization of its education system.
