Prac­tical ex­per­i­ence on top

When studying with in-depth practice, you supplement your regular Bachelor's degree course with regular practical phases in a company. Unlike the degree course with vocational training, however, you do not undergo vocational training in this case.

• The practical work must be related to the content of your degree programme.
• You must complete at least 150 full-time days in your Bachelor's degree programme. If you also spend the internship semester at the same company, this alone will give you 100 days.
• In the Master's programme, you must complete a total of 8.5 months (including the Master's thesis).
• You must spend all practical days at the same company.
• In the Bachelor's programme, you must start the in-depth practical training within the first three semesters of your degree.

1. Work at least 150 days (full-time) in a company.
2. Then submit the relevant documents to Mr Marquetand by e-mail, i.e. student employment contract, internship certificate and work reference (if not yet available, the work reference can be submitted later. ) If the minimum of 150 days is not clear from the documents mentioned, a confirmation from the company of the days actually worked (calculated full-time) is also required.
3. Once the documents have been checked, you will receive the "Study with in-depth practical experience" certificate
4. Secure an advantage over other applicants with your application.

In the degree programme with vocational training, you combine a full-time degree course with full vocational training in a company and vocational school. At the end of the programme, you will not only have a university degree, but also a vocational training qualification from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce or Chamber of Crafts.

Unlike the 3.5 years of a regular Bachelor's degree programme, the combined degree programme lasts 4.5 years. After six months of training, you start the degree programme and continue your training in parallel. You will work in the company during the lecture-free periods.

The companies advertise the training places and select their trainees. A training contract is concluded between the company as the training organisation and you.

You then use the HNU online portal (opens in a new window) to apply for the corresponding degree programme with vocational training (combined degree programme). The joint degree programmes are set up as independent degree programmes in the application portal.

You should send a copy of the training contract with the company where you are completing your training along with the other documents when you apply.

You can register free of charge as a company partner of the HNU in the "hochschule dual" Study Place Portal. Once you have been approved, you can register your company as a practice partner for our degree programmes. You will find a detailed description in the User Guide for Practice Partners.

• Potential employees are retained by your company at an early stage and in the long term.

• You select high-performing and highly motivated students who apply their academic knowledge for your company during their studies and develop customised solutions for your company.

• You maintain close contact with academia, as you actively shape the transfer of knowledge between practice and theory.

• You save costs when recruiting new employees, as cost-intensive trainee programmes are no longer necessary.
