Students on the dual Bachelor’s degree courses spend up to 18 months in practice during the three-year Bachelor’s degree course (full-time). They prepare themselves specifically for their future work during their studies. The advantages of the dual study program offer students the best career entry and advancement opportunities because they lead to the qualification profile that is in demand by the hiring companies.

The part-time Master’s degree programs at the FHDW combine academic knowledge with practical professional know-how. They offer further professional qualification on the basis of a Bachelor’s degree or a diploma. In addition to a high level of professional qualification, social skills and organizational ability are also taught.
