Double Major (DMP) is a programme that enables undergraduate students to take the courses of a department other than their own department simultaneously with the courses they are taking and to have a double bachelor's degree when they graduate if they successfully complete these courses. The aim of the double major programme is to enable students who have successfully completed their major undergraduate programmes to study for a bachelor's degree in a second discipline at the same time.
If the students fail in the undergraduate programme in which they are studying, their relations with the Double Major programme are terminated. In order for students to successfully graduate from both majors, they must first successfully complete the programme they are studying.
