A dual degree lets you earn two separate diplomas — one from RIU and one from a partner university abroad — by completing part of your studies at each. RIU’s flagship articulation partnership with American National University (USA) runs on the 2+2 model: bachelor students complete roughly half of their coursework at RIU in Ulaanbaatar and finish at ANU, with a dedicated University Partnership Scholarship for qualifying RIU students — the first such scholarship ANU has awarded to international students from a partner university.
At graduate level the 1+1 model works the same way for business administration and public administration: year one at RIU, year two at the partner university, leading to two master’s diplomas. Dual-degree cooperation also runs with Chungwoon University in South Korea, with further pathways to partners in the United Kingdom and Canada.
Pathways are governed by bilateral agreements that fix credit recognition and admission criteria up front — and tuition for the RIU years is charged at Mongolian rates, making an international double diploma far more affordable than studying abroad for the full degree.
