The choice is yours!

Design Your Own Degree Programme - In the Automation Technology degree programme, you can choose between:

a bachelor’s degree programme, a dual bachelor’s degree programme (KIA), and a dual Diplom degree programme (KIA)

What is a KIA (sandwich-style) degree course?

Our dual KIA (sandwich-style) degree course is particularly good for those who want to combine theory and practice during their studies. In addition to theoretical expertise, you’ll receive hands-on vocational training, and upon completing your degree, you’ll earn not only a Bachelor’s degree but also a skilled-worker certification. This makes you an attractive, well-rounded candidate for potential employers! Details
