This agreement was signed by the Rector of the UPC, the President of GeorgiaTech-Atlanta, the President of GeorgiaTech-Lorraine, the Dean of  the CoC and the Dean of the FIB.

It is the first double degree agreement between an official master of  the UPC and a foreign university.

Starting on the academic year 2007/2008, this agreement will allow the students of the Master in Information Technologies from the FIB, who pass the selection process, to jointly obtain the Master of Science in Computer Science from GeorgiaTech.

To obtain the double degree, the students of each university will spend  one year in the other university.

Every year there will be a specific application call to take part in this program.
