Find your path
Apprenticeship, dual study programme or further training at bachelor's level – the options are diverse. Those who learn through practical experience can achieve financial independence faster, take on responsibility and stay with the company after training. Early experience in the business pays off – in terms of salary, skills and career opportunities.
Speaking of university!
Theory meets practice.
Studying or working? With a dual study programme, you do both: specialist knowledge and practical experience, directly linked. You can find your practical training partner regionally or nationally, and the entry requirement is the general higher education entrance qualification. This way, you gain real professional experience while still studying – and lay the foundations for your career.
What many people don't know: With three years of training and some professional experience, you can also study without A-levels.
