Details about the dual programme

Please note that you will need to have found a partner company before starting your studies - we are happy to assist you in finding one. If you are unable to find a partner company before the 1st semester, you can also always start in the full-time programme and switch to the dual programme later.

After applying and being admitted to the university, you can change to the dual programme at the beginning of each semester or, depending on your level of prior knowledge, you can already commence your studies in the dual programme. 

The partner companies select suitable candidates independently of the university and sign an employment contract (usually with 18.5 hours per week) with them. You can also suggest new partner companies for this purpose. 

We advise the partner companies to provide financial support for the students working for them. This means that either the tuition fees are paid by the company or that you receive a training salary.
