2025 Staff Week, 30 June - 4 July

Dual Studies in Higher Education - Staff Week Details

In Dual Study Programs students alternate between studying and working at a partner company, thus boosting their graduate employability. In our staff week you will learn about different concepts and best practices from around the world. In general, Dual Education is a partnership which brings together academia, industries, and regions in a cohesive way. 

In addition to getting an idea how dual studies can shape Europe’s societal challenges, you will also learn something about the beautiful Rhine-Neckar- Region. Known for global companies such as BASF and SAP or the oldest university in Germany in Heidelberg, the region also borders one of the most renowned wine regions and tourist hotspots: the German Wine Route. During our Staff Week, we not only visit companies but also the World Heritage Site of Speyer and reflect on what we have learned about dual studies on an excursion to the Palatinate and a hike through the vineyards.

Preliminary Program as of 07/05/2025

The key feature of cooperative (work-integrated) education is the unique combination of theory and practice. The university's curriculum combines higher education and on-the-job training at numerous partner companies, aiming to provide both academic skills and work-related expertise. In that regard, the academic content conveyed in classroom, is complemented with workplace experience, so that real-life situations immediately test the effectiveness of classroom theory and vice versa. Thus the dual study model boosts graduate employability to another level, compared to regular study programs.

This allows DHBW graduates to take on challenging tasks early in their professional pathways, helping them to launch their successful careers. DHBW‘s partner companies and social institutions are equal partners to the university. All partners work together to continuously develop and improve the 'dual study concept' and to achieve mutual goals.
