Become a Cooperation Partner for Dual Studies at UE

Let us build the talents of tomorrow.

Our mission is to find and retain talent

Attracting and retaining skilled professionals has become a key challenge for many companies today. This is exactly where our partnership begins. Our goal is to support you as a practice partner in the best possible way – through a collaborative approach that is tailored to your specific needs.

We prioritise quality over quantity: that’s why we present you with carefully selected candidates who are not only qualified, but also a great personal fit for your organisation. Our dual study programmes are designed to closely link academic theory with practical experience, giving you the opportunity to engage with young talents early on and build long-term connections with them – grounded in perspective and potential.

Let’s start the conversation and find meaningful solutions to develop the talents of tomorrow, today.


Becoming a UE practice partner is of interest to large, medium-sized and small companies from a wide range of industries. This is because our portfolio of study programmes covers a wide variety of topics. Our focus lies on innovative programmes that prepare students for the jobs of the future – a must for every future-oriented company.

Do you have any other ideas? We’re also interested in developing new study programmes in cooperation with our partners.


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.


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.
