Double Degree-Students
The double degree programmes offer our students the opportunity to obtain two academic degrees simultaneously within a single course of study. Currently, we maintain more than ten partnerships with universities in Europe, Asia, as well as North and South America as part of our double degree programs.
Advantages of the double degree program:
- Two recognized degrees in one program – one from Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences and the other from one of our partner universities abroad, without the need to pay a semester fee at the partner university.
- Due to coordinated study plans, the duration of the program usually remains unchanged or is only slightly extended, as the coursework is mutually recognized.
- International qualifications enable our students to gain valuable international experience, develop intercultural skills, and significantly enhance their career prospects.
Double degree programmes within the faculties
A double degree program is a voluntary option within a regular degree program, meaning that students who wish to participate must apply for it during the course of their studies. Within a double degree program, participation usually involves a stay abroad of at least two semesters for bachelor's students and at least one semester for master's students.
At the beginning of their studies, students receive comprehensive information from their faculty about the available double degree opportunities, further study abroad options, and the participation requirements, ensuring they are familiar with the structure and conditions of the programs. Key requirements for participating in a double degree program may include, for example, a minimum number of ECTS credits as well as a proof of language proficiency.
It is recommended to obtain information about the requirements at an early stage. Applications for the double degree program are submitted through Department 1 – Studies and International Relations, which is responsible for coordinating with partner universities regarding the stay abroad.
