Many courses of study can also be studied dual, especially in the field of economics or in the health and care industry. After six to eight semesters, which correspond to a duration of three to four years, you will receive a bachelor’s degree. Depending on the subject, different degrees are awarded.

The German Universities offer Bachelor courses in both languages, German and English. To secure admission to a German University for a Bachelors one must have 13 years of education completed. Since many countries offer high school education only until 12th grade, there arises a necessity for one to collect the extra one-year credit to have the eligibility to drop applications. This can be satisfied by doing either a Studienkolleg or Preparatory course in Germany or by pursuing your 1 st year Bachelor course in your home country.
