Dual studies

You are faced with a decision: study or training?

Why not combine both? In a dual study programme, you supplement the theoretical content learned in lectures with practical expertise. Even during your studies, you will gain valuable practical experience in a company of your choice.

At Hochschule Neu-Ulm (HNU), we offer Dual Studies - a unique form of higher education that combines academic learning at the university with hands-on experience in the workplace. This model allows students to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, making them highly qualified for the job market.

Although the term “Dual Studies” is not commonly used in English-speaking countries, it has become a well-established concept in Germany. Internationally, it may also be referred to as a dual study programme, cooperative education, work-study programme or work-integrated learning.
