There is a double degree agreement (DD) between the University of Klagenfurt and the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”. The programme is taken as part of the Master’s programme. The agreement relates to the degree programmes “Informatics” at the University of Klagenfurt and “System Software” at the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”.
Certificate received upon completion: The Master’s degree is acknowledged in both countries, whereby the graduates can choose whether they want to receive the Austrian or Ukrainian title: “Diplom-Ingenieur” or “Diplom-Ingenieurin” in Austria, or “магистр” in the Ukraine.
Exemption from tuition fees: No tuition fees apply during the period of study abroad at the partner university. The student union fee (ÖH fee), on the other hand, must still be paid during the semester or academic year abroad.
