What is the most astonishing fact about rhinos that probably most people not know about?

Are rhinos your favorite animals?

Indeed I was wrong. The degrees are the same even though the focus is a different one.

There a also a few other differences which depending on your further plans can be important. They both have different applying requirements (If you are allowed to study at a University you can study at a University of applied science but not necessarily the other way), and like you said they teach more job-related material but that also means that you are normally not able to make your PhD afterwards. So if you are interested in a career in research its much easier if you attended a normal University. Also maybe nice to know is the fact that graduates of Universities of applied science tend to earn less money that someone with the same degree form a university.

In the most cases after the 3rd attempt there is a oral exam which will enable you to at least to get a passing grade. Nothing better than 4.0. And also nice to know that if you failed the class and got kicked out you are not allowed to start another major where the class is relevant even at a different university.
