Dual study with prospects in the company

In a dual study program, theory and practice are closely linked right from the start. Interested students can find out what opportunities the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) offers in this regard at an information event on Saturday, November 19, 2022, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the university's central campus in Cottbus.

How does a dual study program work? How do I find my dual study place and the right practice partner? These and many other questions will be answered at this event in the BTU's Central Lecture Hall Building (Lecture Hall A). At the same time, there will be an opportunity to get to know companies that offer dual practical placements. Remuneration during the entire study period by the respective company and an almost smooth transition into the profession are only some of the advantages of dual studies for the students.

At the BTU it is possible to study dual in cooperation with over 180 regional and national companies. Currently, 75 dual study places are available in civil engineering, business administration, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, medical technology and industrial engineering. Further offers are in preparation.

Attendance at the information event on dual studies is free of charge. Registration in advance is requested. The event will take place in hybrid form. Attendance in person is recommended. Interested parties can access the link required for online participation via the website www.b-tu.de/duales-studium.

Background:
The dual study program at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg comprises two models. In the training-integrating model, vocational training is linked to studies, and dual students receive two full degrees - the vocational degree and the academic degree from the university. In the practice-integrated model, practical phases are integrated into the lecture-free periods of the study program, which are coordinated jointly with the dual students, those responsible in the companies and the teachers at the university. Interested students apply directly to the companies for dual study programs in engineering and business administration at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg. In addition, the university offers further dual study programs in Nursing Science and Therapy Science at the Institute of Health.
