A Joint-Bachelor's qualification is aimed at school leavers with a higher education entrance qualification or to potential students who have completed such a qualification. Studying for a Bachelor's degree typically takes six semesters.
The degree programme Joint Bachelor of Arts allows two subjects to be studied side by side with equal weighting.

Following subjects can be studied (German taught):

The Joint Bachelor of Arts is a first academic degree with professional qualification. The combination of two subjects ensures on the one hand a unique broadness and variety within the basic education, which leads into a disciplinary specialization in a following master-program. On the other hand, it provides a greater flexibility as an one-subject-program by giving graduates the opportunity, to make their subject choice for the master-program after gaining scientific knowledge in two disciplines.
In addition, the program allows students an early introduction into interdisciplinary questions. The educational objectives in this field of study are a basic introduction to rational and scientific thinking, argumentation and working on the basis of a solid scientific training in two disciplines. An optional area provides also profession-relevant key competencies and interdisciplinary insights.
