Combining practice and theory in an optimal way - that's what our dual study programme stands for. Find out exactly how it works here.
STUDY OR WORK? JUST DO BOTH!
STUDY OR WORK? JUST DO BOTH!
In the dual study programme at the IU, the practical part is firmly integrated into your studies. You don't work "on the side", but the work is an integral part of your studies. It is important to us that you can optimally combine both sides - the theoretical courses at the IU and the practical phases in the company.
What does this mean for you?
• You can apply your newly acquired knowledge directly in practice.
• In the lectures, you can discuss current issues from your everyday working life.
• The best prerequisites for your job start!

STUDY MODEL
In the dual study programme at the IU, you regularly alternate between theory at the IU and practice in the company. You study half of the week and work the other half of the week at your practice partner with a working time of 20 hours. If you have any questions, please contact our student advisory service.

Studying privately sounds expensive? Not with us. Because at IU, your practice partner pays your tuition fees.
What our graduates say
The weekly change at IU appealed to me in contrast to the three-monthly rhythm because then there is no rut and you can also build up a life in a city.
