For us, internationalization is not just a buzzword – at our university, it is something that is really lived. Guest lecturers from abroad are regularly invited to teach at our university.

We maintain a close network with more than 60 partner universities all over the world and encourage our students to go abroad to study for a semester or do internships. Within Europe, we participate in the ERASMUS program.

Think big - 2 undergraduate degrees, 2 universities, 2 countries in less than 4 years. A truly international experience. 

Business today requires international exposure and an international experience is guaranteed for all business students by the SRH University Heidelberg business school. The combination of experiences from 2 cultures will help develop social, intercultural and communication skills, promote a global outlook and enhance your employability prospects. 

To equip students with an international experience students can choose to either earn a 2nd degree* from a partner university or take a semester abroad. 

Graduates of a double degree program will be awarded two degrees, one from each country; a (B.A.) International Business plus a second Bachelor degree from one of 3 universities. This provides 2 internationally recognised degrees from 2 different countries.

Activating Teaching and Learning Methods:
To ensure that acquired knowledge will be retained, you are instructed with a practical work (case studies, team projects, role plays and presentations).

Competence-Based Methods of Examination:
From the abundance of methods of examination available (oral examination, presentation, projects), we choose the method that fits best to the relevant competencies. Scheduling with a great number of exams will not exist anymore, due to the new program.
