Support in choosing a degree programme
Choosing the right degree programme is an important step for your child and is often not easy given the large selection of degree programmes. To make this process easier, we give you tips on how you can approach the search for the right degree programme together.
Orientation offers
Our orientation offers help you to get to know and try out degree programmes before you start studying. This allows you to find out whether a degree programme matches your expectations.
Range of courses
Here you will find our entire range of courses with detailed information on the individual degree programmes. This will give you an insight into the content and requirements so that your child can gain a comprehensive picture.
