You don't just want to learn theory, but apply your knowledge directly in practice? Then a dual study program at Ulm University of Applied Sciences is just right for you!

During your dual study program, you will gain valuable practical experience in a company right from the start and study at the university at the same time. This allows you to combine academic know-how with real professional practice. Further advantages: You earn money every month during your studies and have a good chance of being taken on directly after graduation.

Ulm University of Applied Sciences offers you two models for a dual study program:

  • Study according to the Ulm model
    You combine your studies with vocational training and gain two degrees in just 4.5 years.
  • Study with in-depth practical experience
    You gain additional practical experience in a company without extending the duration of your studies.

For both models, you need a partner company that will support you during your studies and work with you to shape your dual path.
