Forward-looking degree programmes to suit your interests

One-of-a-kind degree programmes

At the University of Passau, we design our degree programmes to be innovative and future-oriented. In addition to traditional programmes, we continually work to add new, interdisciplinary degrees, so the University of Passau has become one of the leaders in higher education innovation in Germany. In Passau, you are sure to find a course that suits you.

At the cutting edge

Artificial intelligence is on everyone's lips. For this reason, the University of Passau offers both the B.Sc. Artificial Intelligence and the M.Sc. Artificial Intelligence Engineering degree programmes.

The LL.B. Legal Tech degree programme equips you particularly well for the future: students gain unique professional expertise in the digitalisation of legal advice. The programme is aimed at all those who are passionate about both legal and technical challenges.

Anyone who wishes to develop a broad understanding of business and economics as well as technical skills in order to support the digital transformation of organisations and to develop new business models can embark on the B.Sc. Digital Transformation in Business and Society, a degree programme designed specifically for this key role.

Innovative, interdisciplinary and established by now

One of our most successful, now firmly established innovations is the B.A. International Cultural and Business Studies, which combines languages, cultural and business studies. This programme won an award of the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft association (donors' association for the promotion of education and science in Germany).

Future media professionals can study journalism and strategic communication in Passau, acquiring and enhancing their practical skills in our state-of-the-art media studios and labs.

Interdisciplinary education

What all programmes offered at Passau have in common is that they are designed to be interdisciplinary. One example: Internet Computing is a programme administered by the Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics, but despite this, it includes modules on internet law and business administration.

Regardless of which degree programme you are enrolled in, you can always study languages and/or complete part of your studies at a university abroad. 

Study sustainability

The University of Passau has launched the new Master of Arts in Geographies of Sustainability. Under the guiding principle ‘Shaping sustainability – Understanding spaces – Shaping the future’. The programme combines human geography and physical geography with key questions for the future: How can we achieve socially just, ecologically sustainable and economically stable development? And how can these processes be spatially analysed and actively shaped? Key thematic areas include climate adaptation, sustainable tourism and sustainable regional development, organic farming, smart cities and regional value chains.
