Study: Dual or full-time? A decision-making aid
Topic |
Dual study | Full-time study |
---|---|---|
Specialisation | Due to the proximity to the company, students receive specialised training right from the start. | The classic full-time study programme offers the opportunity to be trained in a variety of subjects, to get a taste of different areas and then later to decide on a specialisation. |
Organisation | Students learn to work in an organised and goal-oriented way at an early stage. | There is more freedom to organise their time. |
Theory-practice transfer | What is learned can be tested directly in practice. In addition, a practical background makes it easier to understand the theory. | Since students are not contractually bound to a company, they can take advantage of many opportunities to gain practical experience. |
Financing | Dual students already earn their own money during their training. | During their studies, students do not earn any money and may have to look for a part-time job. |
Career opportunities | Dual students grow into a company during their studies, which opens up very good career opportunities. | Regardless of whether you decide on an academic career or a career start in practice, all doors are open during regular studies. |
The Department of Civil Engineering offers a practice-integrated dual study programme.
