What is special about dual studies?

The dual study programme combines theorety sessions at the IU with practical phases in a company:

  • You apply your theoretical knowledge directly in practice.

  • You gain work experience during your studies, which paves the way for your career entry.

  • You have great prospects: 2 out of 3 graduates are taken on by their practice partners.

Please note: We currently only offer videos in German language.

DUAL STUDIES: ALL BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

APPLY KNOWLEDGE DIRECTLY

Where and why do I need to know this? In dual degree programmes, this question is unnecessary – because you will find out directly.

NETWORKING

Good, stable networks will help you advance professionally. You will have many opportunities to expand your own network during your practical phases.

EARN MONEY

You will not only receive recognition from your practice partner – they will also finance your dual degree programme. Many companies also pay students an additional salary.

SHARE EXPERIENCE

Need of discussion or exchange? During your theory phases on campus or at the virtual campus, you can share your experiences from the practical phase with fellow students and thus get helpful tips, learn new perspectives and support others.

MASTER JOB ENTRY

Employers are very convinced of the dual degree programme. Graduates with practical experience are valuable junior staff. So you will be a lot ahead of your competitors.

DEVELOP FURTHER – FINANCIALLY AND PERSONALLY

In a dual degree programme, you learn new things and develop personally. But the degree also makes a difference financially: on average, graduates earn 17,000 euros more per year than their colleagues without a degree.* *Stepstone Salary Report 2018
