They were welcomed by Ann Müller and Karin Plattner from the IO of HMA. Prof. Sebastian Haupt (M), Guido va de Logt (MT) and Stephan Altmann (W) joined as well.

A very important part of the discussions during the day included a review of the Double Degree at TEC available to students from M, MT and W at HMA.

Students going to TEC with at least Spanish B2 will still be able to choose both options with maximum flexibility regarding the choices of courses at TEC.
