Dual / cooperative studies

Theory and practice – smooth transition from studying to your career

At last! You’ve finished school or college and have the qualifications you need for university – what now?

Are you highly motivated to achieve your career aspirations? We offer the following options for dual / cooperative study at Kempten University of Applied Sciences:

• Studies + work experience = programmes with extended practice (bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes)
• Training + studies = combined degree programmes (bachelor’s degree programmes) – dual qualification

In both cases, you require a partner company to accompany your dual / cooperative studies. You can study on a dual / cooperative programme for a bachelor’s degree– and in some cases for a master’sdegree.

You can find a list of all the dual / cooperative programmes and options that we offer together with partner companies in our “Dual / cooperative study options” portal.
