Get to know our versatile Bachelor's degree programmes in the fields of business and society studies and find out more about our flexible Bachelor of Choice study model.
A Master's degree programme at UW/H is the right choice for anyone who wants more from their studies and would like to secure the best career opportunities or pursue an academic career.
If your dream job is to be a doctor or dentist, we will guide you from the first semester with a sound clinical-practical education up to the state examination (StEx).
Maximum freedom of choice in the Bachelor of Choice
You could hardly have more flexibility and freedom of choice in your studies: with the Bachelor of Choice study model, students enrol on one of six degree programmes. The highlight: they only have to decide after a joint orientation year.
Good news: Good news: At UW/H, A-level grades are not at the centre of the allocation of study places. This is because our degree programmes are 100% state-recognised - and still NC-free. Because with us you are human and not a numerus.
Study first, pay back later: Our ISA
The Income Share Agreement (ISA) makes it possible: you can study with us first and pay back the tuition fee later depending on your income. Because studying should have no financial limits.
