Dual study at the HWG LU: Proven offer with intensive practical linkage

Dual study has a long tradition at HWG LU: the first degree programs in Rhineland-Palatinate to integrate vocational training was the "International Business Administration in Practice" program - now IBA - which was launched in 1995. The combination of academically oriented university studies and practical application in the company has proven its worth. Today, HWG LU offers seven different dual models. Cooperation partners include AOK, BASF, Heraeus Medical Care, Roche diagnostics, SAP and many more.

Consistently practice-oriented

The focus of a dual study program is on practical relevance. The prerequisite for starting the course is a contract with a training company, which in turn is a cooperation partner of the university for the respective degree programs. Practical assignments in the partner companies during the lecture-free period are an integral part of the dual study programs. During the practical phases, students work in various departments of their training company and can apply what they have learned there directly.

What are the advantages of a dual study program?

Unique dovetailing of theory and practice
Dual students benefit from the combination of sound theoretical knowledge, practical work experience and the teaching of important soft skills.
Financial independence
As a dual student, you are also employed by your training company and receive remuneration throughout your studies.
Excellent career prospects
Graduates of a dual program of study can look forward to excellent takeover rates and, since they have already demonstrated their strengths during their training, can be deployed in the company in line with their skills.
