Study programme for all DD students
The degree programme comprises 4 semesters. Students spend the first two semesters (Master 1, Bac +4, respectively) at their home institution and the last two semesters (Master 2, Bac +5, respectively) at the host institution.
During their stay at the host institution, students remain enrolled at their home institution. Both institutions recognize the academic credit earned according to the double degree programme mutually and equivalently. At the University of Bamberg, course credit and credit recognition are regulated by the examination regulations for the master’s degree programme in Business Administration.

Students may choose from all areas of focus that are part of the master’s degree programme in business administration and management. The following tables provide information on the distribution of course credits between the two universities. You will find detailed course information on the pages of the respective institutions.
