Cooperative study program - how does it work?

The participants in the cooperative study program start their training at the company in September. At the beginning of October, they start the 7-semester course at the university. Studies and training are organized in such a way that the students are at the university in the mornings (also on Saturdays in the first year) and at the training company in the afternoons. During the semester break and the practical semester, students spend all day at the company. After two and a half years, the in-company training concludes with the IHK examination. In the seventh semester, students write their Bachelor’s thesis (possibly in cooperation with the training company). After three and a half years, the cooperative student receives their Bachelor’s degree.

Total employment in the company: 24 months
