Why Bamberg
Testo

Since the 17th century, the historic Academia Ottoniana and present-day University of Bamberg has seen itself explicitly as a "House of Wisdom." It was founded in 1647 by Prince Bishop Melchior Otto Voit von Salzburg as a centre of contemporary humanistic education.

The University is now home to four academic faculties: Humanities, Social Sciences, Economics and Business Administration, Human Sciences and Information Systems and Applied Computer Science. 

As an internationally renowned research centre, the University of Bamberg is committed to the academic exchange of knowledge and ideas, and it promotes networking and partnerships with foreign universities and research institutions.

A double degree always has additional value as companies and organisations look for candidates with an international outlook and a multidisciplinary approach who are able to work in multicultural teams and face ever-changing global challenges. Participation in the Double Degree program allows students to diversify and enrich their university education, acquiring new study methods and achieving high-level skills in the German language.
