Double degree
Killing two birds with one stone – vocational studies and matriculation examination
What is a dual degree?
A double degree means that you study a matriculation examination in addition to a vocational basic qualification, meaning that you will receive both a vocational qualification and a matriculation certificate at the end of your studies.
The dual degree can be completed in conjunction with the basic degree in Physical Education.
In addition to a vocational qualification, you must study at least five upper secondary school subjects and participate in the matriculation examination.
