IU Dual Studies - your benefits

No numerus clausus

We deliberately do not impose an NC. Instead, we find out together where your talents and strengths lie.

Interlocking theory & practice

You learn the theory at one of our study locations or virtually and independent of location. You complete the practical part on site at a local company.

Studying from all over Germany

We have over 35 study locations across Germany plus the virtual campus. That way you can network with people from all over Germany.

Lecturers from the business world

You will learn from lecturers who have practical experience in their field and can discuss questions from your everyday working life with them.

Lessons in small groups

Overcrowded lecture halls? Not with us. We teach in small groups, which means you can actively participate and benefit from a greater learning effect.

Good chances of being taken on

IU is state-recognised and accredited. 2 out of 3 students are taken on by their practice partner after graduation.

Large network of practice partners

With our network of more than 15,000 practice partners, we will help you find the right company for your practice stages.

Apply all year round

You can apply all year round - some degree programmes start 4x a year: on 1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October!

Personal support

We are here for you! Before the start of your studies you will be supported by the study advisory, from the beginning of the semester by your study guide and our teachers.

Study on site - or at the virtual campus

We have over 35 study locations across Germany. Alternatively, you can study from wherever you want on the virtual campus and take part in live events in a fixed class.
