A dual study programme in Germany combines academic studies with work in a company and vocational training. Thus, dual study programmes have a very practical orientation. The training usually takes place in two different locations—the company and the higher education institution. This means that you also have to be accepted by a company and sign a contract with them. In most cases, companies pay students for their work.
Another great advantage of a dual study programme is that it provides an opportunity for international students to enter the German labour market: Many companies that offer dual study programmes hire their former students as employees after their graduation.
The challenge is that most dual study programmes are offered in German.
Therefore, a good proficiency of German is an important prerequisite for being accepted for a study place. Depending on the country of origin, the legal requirements may also be an important issue. This means that preparing for a dual study programme is particularly time-consuming—but also very rewarding!
