Studying on a degree course whose examination and study regulations provide for participation in a double degree program enables students to obtain the desired academic degree at two universities.

This is made possible by the coordination of the curricula content and the mutual recognition of examinations by the participating universities. After completing the degree course at one university, the student continues his studies at the partner university and obtains the degree from this university as a second degree.

Double degree : Courses

Student Office

In the case of double studies, you are enroled in at least two degree programs at the same university and time.

This is the case, for example, when you provisionally enrol on a Master degree program during the university-internal transition from Bachelor to Master. Until the end of the semester in which you are provisionally enroled in the Master degree program, you will study twice in two degree programs.

Each prospective student gets in contact with a public health insurance company immediately before enroling as student in a degree program (degree studies). This is required even if health insurance already exists with a private provider.

The public health insurance company checks the current insured status of the prospective student on an individual basis and reports the result of the check to the university via the electronic reporting procedure of the public health insurance companies.

Technically, reporting is done from the health insurance company IT system using a special data format via an electronic interface directly into the university's student administration system. No paper or PDF documents are transmitted.

A new electronic report by the public health insurance company initiated by the student may also be required during the course of studies in the degree program (subject studies).

By enroling in a degree program, students acquire the right to take examinations in their degree program.

This entitlement to take examinations in the enroled degree program is lost as soon as the student finally fails an examination from the curriculum of his degree program.

This is referred to as the loss of the exam entitlement in this degree program. This means that the study objective, i.e. graduation from the chosen degree program, can no longer be achieved.

Exam Office

In the event of a student dropping out without completing his chosen degree program, the Exam Office will issue an exam entitlement certificate for the student dropping out.

This shows whether the exam entitlement in the relevant degree program still exists or has been lost, e.g. due to the final failure of an examination.
