Tiered models

Principally, three different models of a tiered higher-education system are conceivable within the framework of the establishment of Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes. However, not every Bachelor's degree programme must be followed by a Master's degree programme, and not every Master's degree programme requires a corresponding Bachelor's degree programme in the same FH institution as a prerequisite.
  • Basic: This degree programme is "only" offered as a Bachelor's degree programme at the FH institution.
  • Consecutive: This Bachelor's degree programme is combined with one (or more) Master's degree programme(s) that build(s) on it, with both parts being formally independent from each other but with their contents being harmonised.
  • Non-consecutive: This Master's degree programme can also be established if the FH institution does not offer the relevant preceding Bachelor's degree programme. The establishment of such Master's degree programmes is possible if the available resources guarantee that the offered curriculum can be provided.
