Double Degree Programme in Business Administration

Meeting the challenges of the future will require managers educated in integrated study programmes which transcend borders. This is why the University of Bamberg and its partner universities offer the opportunity of a joint study programme that takes into account the bi-national nature of these studies. The Master's degree programme comprises four semesters. Students spend the first two semesters at their home institution and the last two semesters at the host institution. During their stay at the host institution, students remain enrolled at their home institution. The academic credit earned according to the double degree programme is mutually and equivalently accepted by both institutions. At the University of Bamberg, course credit and credit approval are governed by the examination regulation for the Master's degree programme. Course credit requirements and approval at the partner university are regulated by the partner universities' examination regulations. To a large extent, students can define an individual degree emphasis by selecting certain areas of focus. Students that are initially admitted in Bamberg may choose from all areas of focus.

Prerequisites

In addition to regular application materials, applicants must also provide: Statement of motivation in German Curriculum vitae Verification of language proficiency  Certificate of previous academic achievement / university diploma* Generally, one can apply for one or more degree programmes. One statement of motivation is sufficient if you are applying for more than one programme. One can adapt this statement to your preferred programme or to the application for a double degree programme in general. A prerequisite for participation in a double degree programme is admission to a degree programme in Bamberg. One can find the requirements in §26 of the Study and Examination Regulations (in German) for the Master's in "Betriebswirtschaftslehre". More information on eligibility (as well as on the programme curriculum and individual modules) can be found on the programme's website (in German). Admission to a double degree programme granted by the University of Bamberg is generally provisional pending admission by the partner university. This can only take place during the first year in Bamberg, since it is dependent upon other criteria (advancement of studies, not yet completed language tests, etc.) After being selected by their home university and receiving the acceptance letter from a partner university, students are admitted to the double degree programme. Admission by a partner university is generally a formality and does not require a separate selection process. Applications to the double degree programme sent directly to a partner university will not be accepted.
