Basic Information for Double Degree Students

Overview

Harz University of Applied Sciences offers Double Degree options in International Business Studies and International Tourism Studies. Double Degree Students will follow a fixed course plan of 60 ECTS per year. Students from our partner universities will study 2 semesters at Harz UAS and receive a Bachelor´s degree in addition to their home degree.

A semester abroad is an extraordinary and unique experience for any student. You will discover what it means to live and study in a foreign country, meet new people from different cultural backgrounds, learn to speak a foreign language and master this challenge independently.

As an exchange student, you will often realise that your daily studies in Germany are very different from the systems you already know.
