Dual study programme in Wiesbaden
The dual study programme is a special form of study that combines practical training with university studies. Here, theoretical phases at a university or university of cooperative education alternate with practical phases in the company. The aim is to provide students with practical skills and knowledge in addition to sound theoretical knowledge.
The practical phases can look different depending on the degree programme and company. In some cases, they are block internships lasting several weeks or months; in other cases, students regularly complete practical phases in the company on fixed days per week or month.
The dual study programme has the advantage that students get an early insight into practice and can already gain valuable work experience during their studies. In addition, dual study programmes are often linked to a training contract and remuneration, which enables financial independence during studies.
The study programmes offered in the dual system are very diverse and range from classic engineering and business administration courses to specialised courses such as nursing management or event management. Dual studies are available at universities of applied sciences, universities of cooperative education and also at universities.
Unfortunately, none of the private universities in Wiesbaden currently offer dual studies, but that doesn't mean it will stay that way.
