FTKKP - Dual Degree - Collaboration Programme with Mannheim University of Applied Sciences (HMA), Germany

ACTIVE STUDENTS

The Mannheim University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule Mannheim, HMA) is a public higher education institution located in Mannheim, Germany, established in 1898. As one of the largest universities of applied sciences in Baden-Württemberg, HMA serves approximately 5,200 students and employs 180 professors. The university offers 27 bachelor's degree programs and 12 master's degree programs in fields such as engineering, informatics, biotechnology, design, and social affairs. In response to advancements in science and technology and the evolving labor market, HMA has introduced innovative study programs in computer science, engineering and management, and biotechnology to complement its traditional engineering departments.

With over 120 partner university agreements worldwide, HMA provides students with numerous opportunities for study-integrated stays abroad, including dual degree program, theoretical semesters, practical semesters, or thesis semesters at international institutions.

The dual degree program between UMPSA and HMA is a 4.5-year program (3+1.5), where students spend three years at UMPSA and 1.5 years at HMA. Upon completing the required credits at both universities, students are awarded two degrees: Bachelor of Chemical Engineering with Honours from UMPSA and Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) Process Engineering from HMA. This program offers students the chance to learn the German language, experience Germany's vibrant industries and diverse cultures, and benefit from world-class research facilities and infrastructure. Additionally, students gain exposure to different learning environments, fostering improved communication skills and a global perspective.
