This might sound like a stupid question, and but my Dad wants to know.
If I complete a flexible double degree, what does the piece of paper at the end say? Is it two degrees, or something/something.

How about the vertical doubles?

Thanks for your help :)

A double degree is exactly what it says: it means you completed two different degrees. A degree means you completed all the requirements in order for a uni to entitled you with your degree. This means that you completed all their 1st, 2nd and 3rd maybe 4th and 5th year courses. What tends to happen with double degrees is that either either two courses are so related that it wouldn't be too hard for you take complete the second degree with an extra 2 semesters or that you get much less electives.

If it's a double degree, you get two separate ones (and two graduations I'm guessing). Some unis have combined degrees which seem to be a single degree, like "bachelor of arts/science" is 1 combined degree but "bachelor of arts with bachelor of science" is 2 separate degrees.
