Our study programme 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 programmes. In the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, apart from basic Bachelor degree programmes there are also combined Bachelor programmes (with a so-called major and a minor subject). Here you can find a short overview of all Bachelor programmes. Further information can be found in the descriptions of the individual study programmes.
