University Duesseldorf

The Bachelor programmes at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) provide students with both the qualifications necessary to enter a profession and the fundamental and methodological skills to pursue an academic career. In Mathematics, in the Natural Sciences and in Business and Economics, students choose their main subject (e.g. Biology) and complete their studies with a Bachelor of Science degree (B.Sc.). In Arts and Humanities, most Bachelor programmes consist of a core subject (Kernfach) in combination with a subsidiary subject (Ergänzungsfach) and lead to a Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.). Both B.Sc. and B.A. programmes typically take three years to complete, including the time required for writing a Bachelor thesis.At HHU, there is no tuition fee for Bachelor programmes. However, students pay a so-called semester fee (“Sozialbeitrag”) which covers public transport in Düsseldorf and North Rhine-Westphalia, and fees for the Students' Union and Student Services: Semester fee at HHU.
