Bielefeld University has a great course offer in humanities, natural, social, and technical sciences, and is looking forward to receiving your application!

To the course offer

Bielefeld University offers study programmes with international alignment:

Study programmes with the option of achieving an international double degree. Study programmes are international cooperation programmes that can be studied in the scope of a degree programme. A double degree or a joint degree can be acquired in this context: The students will complete part of their studies at Bielefeld University and another part at one or several partner universities.

To the double degree programmes

The subjects of “German as a Foreign and Second Language” and “German as a second language and German studies” prepare for working in an international environment. The same language prerequisites as for any other degree programme in the German language apply here.

Master courses in English can only be studied completely in the English language. These degree programmes do not exist in the German language.

Further information

An international track is an English-language branch of a German-language degree programme.
