Our Study course overview shows you all the possibilities there are to study at HHU. We offer Bachelor and Master programmes, the German State examination (Staatsexamen) for degrees in Law, Pharmacy and Medicine, and further education courses. In the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, apart from basic Bachelor degree courses there are also combined Bachelor courses (with a so-called major and a minor subject). Further information can be found in the descriptions of the individual study courses.
