Subjects Offered at UR

What degrees are offered at UR?

At the University of Regensburg, you can choose between approximately 158 fields of study, from archaeology and nanoscience to medicine or economics.

The Bachelor's and Master's degree programs are modularized, which means that they consist of study modules. The 'European Credit Transfer System' (ECTS) has been introduced in these courses. A state examination program usually takes longer and is regulated uniformly throughout the country (not internationally).


Bachelor's Degree Programs

The Bachelor's degree is the first academic degree with which a scientific study program can be completed after usually six semesters (= 3 years). In addition, it is a first professional qualification. A distinction is made between the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and the Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.). With the B.Sc., only one subject is studied.

With the B.A., either one major subject and two minor subjects or two majors are studied.

Study Programs with international orientation

Promotion (PhD)

The goal of doctoral studies is to obtain a doctoral degree. Doctoral studies are usually based on individual research work in close cooperation with an academic supervisor.

The core of the doctorate is the dissertation ("doctoral thesis"). After the dissertation has been accepted, a disputation, i.e. an oral examination, takes place.

A doctoral program usually takes three to four years.

If you are interested in doing a doctorate in Regensburg, you should first try to get a confirmation of supervision from a Regensburg professor.

Neither an application nor enrollment is required for these additional study offerings.
