Dual study with practical integration - work experience begins during your studies

Gain professional experience in a company during your studies - this is made possible by a dual study program. Our Bachelor's degree programs can be studied on a dual work-study basis. In addition to a higher education entrance qualification, applicants need a training agreement with a cooperating company.

And what exactly does practice-integrated dual study mean? In this model, students generally spend the course phases as well as the examination phases together with the direct students at the university. Outside of the class and examination periods, the practical phases take place in the company. Additional practical transfer phases are also included in the course of study: These are further periods in which students work and learn directly on site in their respective company and thus gain practical professional experience. All other matters, such as vacation entitlement and remuneration, are agreed with the company.
