# 🎓 Your Next Chapter: Second Degrees for ToU Graduates

## Graduated from Tomorrow University? Your learning journey doesn't stop here. Discover how a second degree builds on what you've already achieved, the Alumni Benefit waiting for you, how to apply, and how to stay connected with our alumni community.

At Tomorrow University, we believe learning isn't something you finish. It's something you keep doing, for life. Graduating is a milestone worth celebrating, and it can also be the start of your next chapter. Whether you want to go deeper into your field, pivot into a new one, or take the step from a Bachelor's to a Master's, a second degree at ToU builds on everything you've already achieved, so you can keep growing and keep creating impact.

 🌱 Why a second degree at ToU?

The world keeps changing, and so do the skills it needs. A second degree lets you respond to that change with a recognised qualification, in a learning format you already know and love.

A second degree could be right for you if you want to:

- **Level up**: continue from a Bachelor's to a Master's or MBA.
- **Pivot**: add a new field to your profile, such as technology, sustainability, business or psychology.
- **Specialise**: go deeper into a topic you discovered during your first degree.

### Built on what you've already done

As a ToU graduate, you don't start from zero. Your second degree is designed around your first one:

- **A personalised curriculum plan**: we review your first-degree transcript and design a plan for your new degree, full of fresh learning experiences.
- **No repeated challenges**: you'll never be asked to retake a challenge you've already completed.
- **A faster start**: you've already completed the ToU Core, so your Orientation phase is shortened (Bachelor's) or skipped entirely (Master's and MBA). That time goes into an additional IC (15 ECTS) in Calibration instead.
- **A brand-new thesis**: your final thesis must be significantly different from your first one, so your second degree adds real, new depth to your profile.

💡 **Still finishing your first degree?** You can already apply if you've completed the Orientation, Calibration and Elevation phases. Your admission will then be conditional on completing your first degree.

🎁 Your Alumni Benefit

As a ToU graduate, you receive a 20**% Alumni Benefit on the tuition fees** of your second degree. It's our way of saying thank you for continuing your learning journey with us.

🚀 How to apply

Your next chapter starts with a conversation. [**Book a call with our admissions team**](https://handbook.tomorrow.university/-your-next-chapter-second-degrees-for-tou-graduates#ADD-LINK) to talk about your goals and find the degree that fits them best.

1. **Book your call.** Schedule a conversation with our admissions team using the link above, and let them know you're a ToU graduate.
2. **Explore your options.** Together, you'll discuss your motivation, the degree and program you're interested in, and your study track.
3. **Receive your personalised curriculum plan.** Our Program Directors review your first-degree transcript and prepare a plan showing exactly which challenges and ICs are open to you.
4. **Admission interview.** Reflect on your first degree, share what you want from your second, and walk through your curriculum plan together.
5. **Enrol and start.** Once you accept your plan, we set up your new degree in the Learning App, and you're ready to go.

 ❓ Frequently asked questions

**Can I transfer ECTS credits from my first degree?**  
No. ECTS from your first ToU degree aren't transferred. Instead, your curriculum plan makes sure you never repeat a challenge, and your Orientation phase is shortened or skipped.

**Can I apply before I graduate?**  
Yes, if you've completed the Orientation, Calibration and Elevation phases of your first degree. Your admission is then conditional on completing your first degree.

**Can I choose a specialisation (program)?**  
Yes, as long as enough ICs for that program remain open to you after excluding what you've already completed. Your curriculum plan will show you.

**Can I write my thesis on the same topic?**  
Your new thesis must be significantly different from your first one. You can build on what you've learned, but it must be a new piece of work.

**Which degrees can I choose from?**  
All current ToU degrees: BSc, BA, MBA, MSc and MA. Our admissions team will help you find the best fit.
