Study model and investment

We want our students to experience as much as possible from working in the real world. That’s why all our dual degree programmes involve regular alternation between theory and practice, mostly in the split-week model:

Students work at your company three days a week for a total of about 20 hours.
For about 27 weeks per year in total.
Over a study period of 3, 3.5 or 4 years, depending on the degree programme.
All programmes start every year in the winter semester and some in the summer semester.

Your investment: As a UE practice partner, you cover the tuition fees from €495 per month, which you can deduct for tax purposes as operating costs. You decide for yourself whether or not you will pay the students any additional compensation.

Your benefits as a dual practice partner

We only match students who are motivated and whose hard and soft skills are a perfect fit for your company and job profile. The students go through a multi-stage application process and receive one-to-one coachings. This ensures that you only get the best candidates for your company.

Through our partnership, you receive new junior staff without having to worry about the entire recruiting process - and have more time for your core business.

From the start, you keep the students closely tied to your company, help shape them from the start of their careers, and take them on after graduation without any training periods.

A personal contact person will support you at all times and answer any questions you may have about innovation and employee retention - with our knowledge gained from more than 20 years of teaching.

Through our international network of cooperation partners, partner universities, students and alumni, you will easily establish additional valuable contacts.

We contribute equally to the success of young talent. That's why we work closely with you on areas including the requirements, content and practical phases of the dual study programme.

3 steps: How to become a dual practice partner of UE

We only seek long-term, honest partnerships. We place special importance on reliability, a great deal of commitment and high-quality standards, which we also demand of ourselves. That's why our university is system accredited – the highest recognition of excellence in teaching. We only work with professionally experienced lecturers and enable our students to work with state-of-the-art equipment and the latest labs and photo/video studios at every campus.

Step 1: Consulting

You define the requirements for your ideal applicant in a personal meeting with us – we recruit and make sure that you get the right candidate.

Step 2: Feedback

You can conduct an interview with the candidate. If the interview is successful, there is the possibility of an additional meeting on a trial day.

Step 3: Contract & Start

Once the right person is selected, we prepare all the contract documents. After admission to UE, the dual student will start the next winter or summer semester.
