Programmes (dual) with extended practice: Bachelor’s or master’s

Focus on practice + flexible

Would you like to study on a practically focused programme form the outset, without overloading on theory? Our programmes with extended practice combine a regular bachelor’s or master’s degree programme at the university with intensive practical placements at one of our partners, relating closely to your academic subject matter.

How does this work?

You alternate between work placements and blocks of study. You will spend time during the semester breaks working in your company. In addition to that, you will be engaged full-time there during the practical semester and while writing your final thesis.

In contrast to regular degree programmes, you will receive pay from the start and are entitled to holiday during university vacation time. Programmes with extended practice allow you plenty of room for manoeuvre. For example, you have until the 4th semester on a bachelor’s programme to find a company, sign a work contract and study from then on in dual format. Every degree programme at Kempten University of Applied Sciences can be studied with extended practice in collaboration with an external partner organisation, including our master’s degree programmes.

Combined (dual) degree programmes

Vocational training + academic studies – doubly qualified

Combined degree programmes: Academic studies + apprenticeship

Would you like to earn a university degree and a fully recognised vocational qualification? Combined degree programmes enable you to do both at the same time.

How does this work?

You will spend the first year as an apprentice in the company and attending vocational college. After you have acquired that initial practical experience, you will commence academic studies in your second year. Guidance will be provided from start to finish by the university of applied sciences, your company and the vocational college. You will receive regular wages throughout and are entitled to holiday during semester vacations. If you’re keen to get plenty of hands-on experience, then a combined degree programme coupled with an apprenticeship is just the right choice for you. A double qualification in both academic studies and vocational training stand you in perfect stead for your working life.

Formats: Dual studies, degree programmes with extended practice, or combined study programmes

What’s the difference?

At Kempten University of Applied Sciences it is generally possible (apart from professional part-time degrees) to study on some form of collaborative scheme. At our university of applied sciences, you can also choose to study for a degree in a combined format or opt for extended practice.

If you are studying for a bachelor’s degree in the faculties of Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering, we have already checked the profile requirements for “dual” (co-operative) studies according BayStudAkkV / § 12 para. 6 MVRO. We can therefore offer both extended practice and combined formats for these degree programmes.

We are still in the process of securing accreditation for the bachelor’s degree programmes in the faculties of Business Administration, Computer Science & Multimedia, Social & Health Studies, and Tourism Management, as well as for all master’s degree programmes. However, these programmes can already be studied with extended practice or in combined format.

The accreditation process relates solely to the features of the profile. The formats themselves remain unchanged.
