Professor Dr. Slim Abdennadher, President of the GIU, and Prof. Dr. Annabella Rauscher-Scheibe, President of Hochschule Für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin (HTW Berlin), signed the Double Degree program specifically for the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the GIU and the Bachelor of Arts in International Business at HTW. Students nominated from both universities are given the opportunity to study for one whole year in host universities (i.e. GIU students study in HTW, while HTW students study in GIU). Subjects studied are eligible for transfer once students return back to their home universities.
