Approximately 8 700 students enroll in 66 degree courses in areas such as engineering, natural sciences, economics and social sciences; about two-thirds are required to complete semesters of study or praxis abroad. Foundational degree courses immediately follow secondary education and offer the initial Bachelor degree while post-graduate opportunities for further study offer the more in-depth and expanded qualification of Master degree.

Additionally, innovative academic content that will remain relevant in the future in combination with the worldwide validity of the Bachelor and Master degrees ensures that graduates will enjoy excellent career perspectives – even abroad.
