    "Our Degree Program Generator gives prospective students the opportunity to select from a vast array of subject areas while considering their personal strengths and career aspirations. This is a milestone in study orientation and makes us unique across Germany," says University President Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Jürgen Lehmann.
