Dual study: start work straight away with the DHBW

Do a standard degree or work and earn money? You don't have to choose. Just do both. If you study for a practice-focussed qualification at the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University, theory and practice are closely and synergistically linked. You will acquire sound knowledge on campus and can then apply this directly in your everyday working life during your practical phase with a corporate partner.
