Studying two degree programmes concurrently

A concurrent degree programme is when you take up a second degree programme while you are enrolled on a first degree programme. Upon successfully completing your studies, you will receive two individual degrees. Depending on your choice of degree programme, this could be, for instance, two Bachelor's degrees or a Bachelor's degree and a State Examination.

An application for concurrent degree programmes can only be submitted for the following semester (i.e. it cannot be applied for retroactively); at the earliest when you re-register for the following semester and at the latest before the start of the relevant semester (see academic calendar).

Application form for concurrent study of two degree programmes

Undergraduate degree programmes

If you take up a second degree programme and you have the required qualification (general or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification), you only need to fill in and submit the application form for concurrent study of two degree programmes.

Please note that for the degree programmes B.Sc. Artificial Intelligence and B.Sc. Mathematics, English language skills at level B2 CEFR must be demonstrated.

Master's degree programmes

You can also study two Master's degree programmes simultaneously. To do this, you must first apply for and be admitted to the second degree programme (please note the application deadlines). Once this has been done, you can submit the application form for concurrent study of two degree programmes.

Please talk to an adviser before starting two degree programmes

In order to discuss the organisational aspects of doing two degrees programmes simultaneously (e.g. credit transfers and placement in a higher subject semester, choice of subjects), we strongly recommend that you contact an adviser before starting a second degree programme.

Who to talk to when considering studying two degree programmes concurrently:

How will you know that have been enrolled in your additional degree programme?

It usually takes around two weeks to process your application for studying two degree programmes concurrently. As soon as the Student Registration Office has been able to update your enrolment record, you will see the additional degree programme in your student account in the Campus Portal (enrolment certificate, record of your studies). For technical reasons, no automatic notification is sent by email. Please therefore always check at the beginning of the semester that your degree programmes have been recorded correctly.

Please note that your application can only be processed once you have re-registered for the coming semester. Please therefore remember to re-register.
