Why choose between studying and training when you can have both
?
A dual study program combines a technical or business degree with vocational training. This means that in addition to your IHK training qualification, you will also obtain a Bachelor's degree from one of our partner universities. As you are aiming for two degrees during your dual studies, this naturally requires a great deal of commitment and organizational skills. As a student, you will be employed by us for the entire 4.5-year period and will therefore be able to put your newly acquired knowledge into practice immediately. In addition, you will already have a permanent partner for your internship semester and your final thesis.
You start with in-company training and spend the first year alternating between RAPA and vocational school. At the same time, you will start your studies at Hof University of Applied Sciences or Coburg University of Applied Sciences in the second year. During the semester breaks and in the practical semesters, you will consolidate what you have learned so far in practice. No gray theory, but right in the thick of things right from the start!
Dual study program with training as an industrial clerk (m/f/d)
As part of your vocational training and also later in the practical phases, you will gain valuable experience in the company and work in departments such as sales, purchasing or controlling. When studying business administration, you will first acquire a sound grounding in business administration and then deepen your knowledge. You will not only acquire subject-specific knowledge, but also work on your presentation and communication skills. After completing your basic training, you will decide on a specialization, such as FACT (Finance, Accounting, Controlling, Taxation), Human Resources and Organizational Management ovm. After completing your vocational training and your studies (B.A.), you will receive a double degree.
