We offer you the chance to join our highly practical BA in Communication Design and gain a bachelor’s degree at UE. It will run alongside two or three theory courses. 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.
