International Dual Degree Program with York University (Bachelor)

Applicants for the dual degree program must be enrolled in one of the following programs: Bachelor Informatik (B.Sc.) at H-BRS or the undergraduate Specialised Honours BSc program (120 credits) in Computer Science at York University.

At the time of starting the mobility, H-BRS students should have achieved a grade point average of at least 2.3 with at least 84 ECTS. York University students should have achieved at least 54 (Canadian) credits with a cumulative GPA of 6 before starting the mobility.

Neither H-BRS nor York University students are required to provide a language certificate. It is the responsibility of the students and the program coordinators to ensure that candidates have sufficient language skills.

There is no formal limit for admission to the double degree programme. Usually, the group of candidates consists of up to 5 students.

Students pay fees from their home institution, i.e. the university where you started the program. H-BRS students - as most students in Germany - pay no tuition fees. However, a Semester Contribution including a ticket for public transport and other services, will be charged from all students, including the incoming Canadian students, to guarantee that they can benefit from the subsidized meal plan and the public transport system.

York University charges a small, single-digit fee per course for course materials. International students must also enrol in the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP).

Please enquire with the program coordinators whether scholarships are available for the stay.

Since this is not a stand-alone degree programme, but a study plan that allows you to pursue two degree programs in parallel, you must apply for both degree programs separately. First, you will be enrolled in one of the two entry degree programs. Provided you meet the requirements for applying to the partner university, the nomination at the partner university will be made by the program coordinator of the first home university. H-BRS students contact the program coordinator at the end of the second semester. York students should contact the program coordinator in the winter term of their second year of study if they are interested.

The typical course of study for students of H-BRS and York University is shown in the following document ("Addendum"). Deviations from this do not necessarily mean exclusion from the program. Please contact the program coordinator.
