Double Degree Programmes

TU Darmstadt has various double-degree agreements with different partner universities around the world. These programmes offer qualified students the opportunity to pursue two degrees at the same time: the Bachelor of Science or the Master of Science at TU Darmstadt and the equivalent degree at the partner university. The full recognition of academic achievements completed abroad is guaranteed at the outset.

Participants complete a large portion of their studies abroad. The duration of studies is usually only prolonged slightly. After completing the Master’s (or Bachelor's) degree at TU Darmstadt, both degree certificates – one from TU Darmstadt, one from the partner university – will be awarded to the student.

The following pages will provide you with information about our double-degree programmes. For general inquiries about double degrees, please contact the Office for International Relations and Mobility.
