This top up study program is designed for graduates of the HTK Academy, offering said graduates the chance to join the highly practical BA Communication Design and gain a bachelor’s degree at UE. This will kick off in the summer semester 2021, and it will run alongside two theory courses. Alternatively, you can start the top-up degree in the winter semester 2021. As a HTK graduate you will have already completed the work experience you need, therefore your required internship period will be reduced and undertaken during the semester breaks. After successfully passing the required UE courses and internship, you will be awarded a bachelor’s degree.
