Cooperative higher education

Dual vocational training system – Made in Germany

Besides university studies, dual vocational training is a qualified and recognized educational path in Germany. Largely unknown abroad, this way of acquiring professional skills is a major reason for Germany’s strong SME sector. Due to the close interlocking of theory acquisition in the vocational school and hands-on application in the training company, highly qualified professionals are formed in the dual vocational training system.

One step further

Since the mid-1970s, selected educational institutions in Germany have offered the opportunity to combine both educational paths. Due to its great success, this study model of cooperative higher education was subsequently adopted by universities, leading to a recognized bachelor’s degree. Graduates of such a study program have a broad and demanded range of work skills and academic knowledge that meet the requirements of the modern, highly technical labor market.

With its collaborative tripartite study model, BHH offers an optimized and innovative form of this cooperative learning approach combining dual vocational training and university studies.
