DUAL STUDIES AT IU
HOW IT WORKS
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 IU, the practical part is firmly integrated into your studies. You don't work "on the side", but work is an integral part of your studies. It is important to us that you can optimally combine both sides - the theory on campus and the practice in the company. What does this mean for you? You can always apply your newly acquired knowledge directly in practice and, conversely, discuss current issues from your everyday working life in the lectures. The best to kickstart your career.

STUDY MODEL
In the dual study programme at the IU, you regularly alternate between theory on campus and practice in the company. You take your exams at the end of each semester. We offer different time models depending on the course of study and the practice partner - a weekly alternation or a split week. Just ask our student advisory service about it.
WEEKLY ALTERNATION
You alternate between theory and practice every week; so you study on campus one week and work 40 hours at your practice partner the next week.
SPLIT WEEK
You study half of the week and work for your practice partner the other half. Each week you have a working time of 20 hours.
STUDY ON SITE - OR AT THE VIRTUAL CAMPUS
STUDY ON SITE - OR AT THE VIRTUAL CAMPUS
Our study locations can be found all over Germany. You still don't have a suitable study location for your dual studies nearby? Or do you simply want to be more flexible?
With our virtual campus, you can study from wherever you want: You will learn the theory virtually in small classes and complete your practical training at a company in the region of your choice.
In some selected cities, you can also exchange ideas with other students on site: Our centrally located IU lounges offer you modern rooms where you can study or spend time with fellow students.
The virtual campus currently offers degree programmes in the fields of Architecture & Construction, Business & Management, Health & Social Services, Marketing & Communication, IT & Technology and Tourism.

WHAT IS A DUAL STUDY PROGRAMME
A dual study programme is a higher education programme in which work in a company is an integral part of the academic training.
PRIVATE STUDIES FOR €0
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.
