The DHBW closely cooperates with more than 9,000 companies and

social institutions all over Germany – the so-called “dual partners”.

The dual partners select their students themselves and, as members of the

university, they are responsible for the practice-oriented part of the Studies.

The practice-integrated concept ensures that the graduates are highly

employable. A very large percentage is taken on by the dual partners.

In the course of their three-year studies, the students regularly switch between

university and company/social institution and the receive a monthly income.
