What does possibity for a double degree mean?
The double degree option refers to the possibility of obtaining two degrees from two countries with one degree programme. Intensive co-operation with numerous international partner universities creates a broad selection. For the double degree programme, students spend part of their studies at Landshut University of Applied Sciences and part at a partner university abroad. Participants receive a degree from both universities.
Bachelor of Business Administration - Franco-German study programme
The Franco-German study programme is part of the Bachelor's degree course in Business Administration at Landshut University of Applied Sciences together with the partner university IUT Robert Schuman Université de Strasbourg. The programme focuses on business administration as well as communication/advertising and sales. The international character of the programme is reflected in the acquisition of two languages and the integrative nature of the programme, in which getting to know other cultures also plays an important role.
Participants spend the first year of the programme in Landshut, the second year and the subsequent practical semester in Strasbourg. Back in Landshut, participants take the competence modules Marketing and Sales Management and Organisational Concepts & Human Resource Management and select two subject-related elective modules from the Bachelor's degree programme in Business Administration. The programme concludes with the Bachelor's thesis. Graduates receive a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration in Landshut and a Bachelor's degree in Business Management and Marketing (Licence bac +3) in France.
Bachelor International Business Administration - Selection of partner universities
The International Business Administration degree programme aims to provide a Bachelor's degree in Landshut, but also offers the option of obtaining a double degree with two semesters abroad and an internship abroad. Due to its international composition of students, the degree programme in Landshut already focuses on intercultural communication and understanding in combination with a sound business education. From the third semester onwards, lectures and examinations are held in English and a second foreign language is compulsory in the timetable.
Students are free to decide at which partner university they wish to spend the semesters abroad provided for in the degree programme. If the practical semester is also spent abroad and a partner university with a double degree option is chosen, students have the opportunity to obtain a double degree from the partner university via the German Bachelor's degree, such as Novia University in Turku/Finland, Griffith College Dublin or Cork/Ireland, University of South Carolina Upstate Spartanburg/USA, Napier University Edinburgh/UK, University of the Sunshine Coast Queensland/Australia. When selecting a partner university, students' country of choice plays a role, as do the specialisations offered at the respective university.
