Universities of Belarus, Armenia might award double diplomas

       The education ministers of Belarus and Armenia discussed a possibility to introduce university courses which graduates will be awarded double diplomas, Armenian Education and Science Minister Armen Ashotyan told a press conference in Nesvizh.
        “While visiting the Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics and the Belarusian State University we had a meeting with Education Minister Sergei Maskevich and the administration of the Belarusian universities. We discussed a possibility of awarding double diplomas to Belarusian and Armenian students who opt for certain training courses,” Armen Ashotyan said. Such courses are already available in Armenia with double diplomas awarded by Armenian and German universities. Sergei Maskevich added that several leading universities of Belarus have also offered this opportunity. “It is quite possible that next year we will offer a training course which graduates will get a double diploma,” Sergei Maskevich noted.
