What are double degree programs?
Double degree programs offer students at TH Köln the unique opportunity to study at an established partner university and to acquire a second degree there. The courses are coordinated for both universities and are mutually credited. They therefore do not represent separate courses, but rather link the individual courses of the respective partner universities with one another.
The duration of stay in a double degree program is usually at least 2 semesters for Bachelor programs and at least 1 semester for Master programs. Through the stay at the partner university, you will experience a different teaching and learning culture in an academic environment as well as deeper insights into another country, its language and its culture. You will benefit from these experiences for a lifetime, both personally and professionally.
