Double Degree Programme
Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), USA
Since 1994, we have maintained a very special partnership with the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) that is unique in Schleswig-Holstein: a German–American double degree program.
Within this partnership, three degree programs offer international study tracks. Students who choose this option attend a large portion of their courses in English alongside American students beginning in their fourth semester. From the sixth semester onward, participants transfer to the MSOE campus as a cohort, continue their studies there, and complete their bachelor’s thesis. Upon successful completion, students are awarded a German–American double degree.
Further information about this program can be found under Outgoing - Study abroad.
Degree programs participating in the double degree program:
- Bachelor of Electrical Engineering
- Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering
- Bachelor of Business Administration and Engineering
In addition, for several semesters now, bachelor’s students in civil engineering, business administration, biomedical engineering, and computer science/software engineering have had the opportunity to spend a semester at MSOE as exchange students. Information on exchange opportunities and application procedures is available from the respective departments.
East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST), China
Together with East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST) in Shanghai, a partner university since 1989, Technische Hochschule Lübeck offers two integrated English-language degree programs in “Environmental Engineering” and “Information Technology” (until 2026). Each year in winter semester, a maximum of 40 Chinese students can enroll in this study program at ECUST. The first five semesters of the program take place at ECUST (languages of instruction: Mandarin, English). In the summer semester, the studies continue at Technische Hochschule Lübeck in the sixth semester and concludes with a German-Chinese double degree (bachelor's) in the eighth semester. By 2025, more than 1,000 students had successfully graduated from this program.
