A study course at DIT is combined with an apprenticeship at a company (with a certificate by the Chamber of Crafts (HWK) or the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK)).

This example shows what a combined degree course can look like.

The following contracts are offered by the chambers:

• IHK: regular articles of apprenticeship + additional clauses
• HWK: regular articles of apprenticeship + additional clauses

Please always contact the according chamber for contract design.

The study programme at DIT is combined with intensified practice phases spent in a company during semester breaks and the practice semester.

This example shows what a combined degree course can look like.

A model contract for a cooperative degree course with intensified practical phases can be found here: hochschule-dual.de.

The dual Master's programme lasts 1.5 (3 semesters) full-time and is organised as a study programme with in-depth practical experience (practice-integrating). Students spend at least 34 weeks (or at least half of the standard period of study) in the company, mainly during the semester break and during the time during the Master's thesis, which is the highlight and conclusion of the course.

This example shows how a dual Master's programme can be organised.

You can find a sample contract for a dual master's degree programme at hochschule-dual.de.

Depending on the course of study, studies may start in the summer and winter semester.
