In addition to their main undergraduate programmes, our university offers undergraduate students the opportunity to receive a second undergraduate diploma as a student in a different programme within the university (double major) or to study in a minor programme to enable them to gain knowledge in a specific field. Students who fulfil the necessary conditions can apply to the relevant Faculty Dean's Offices at the beginning of the third semester at the earliest and at the beginning of the fifth semester at the latest for those who wish to double major (double major) and minor (minor) programmes at the beginning of the third semester at the earliest and at the beginning of the sixth semester at the latest.
