Best of both worlds

When looking for suitable personnel for your company, during the three years of study you can not only get an impression of the creative performance, but also of the overall personality of your student(s).

People who take on a DHBW degree programme are usually more committed and motivated than average, have their goal clearly in mind and are hungry for new challenges and opportunities to apply what they have learned.

The Media Design degree programme is considered one of the most creative talent hotbeds in Germany. As a company, you benefit from our know-how in teaching creative, technical and economic content, methods and backgrounds. In the practical phases, our students take on responsibility at an early stage and can directly apply the knowledge they have acquired in the theoretical phases. Companies also benefit from the mutual exchange with the university and the specialised event formats of the study programme.

Within their study and training period, students are integrated into company-specific work processes and customer structures. He/she knows the business “from the ground up” and can therefore take on responsible tasks earlier. The practice shock does not happen!

It’s up to you: By selecting your student from the large number of prospective students, you as a company take responsibility for the promotion and development of design talent. In this way, you also document to your customers that you are making your contribution to the development of our society.

You can pave the way to a university degree for junior staff. By building a career springboard, you create a bond between young people and your company. Many graduates therefore remain with their partner companies after their studies.

We promote the international competence of our students. These have the opportunity to spend a theory semester abroad to gain intercultural experience. We work together with numerous international colleges and universities. Of course, the academic achievements are fully recognised.

Thanks to the integration of theoretical and practical content, students also complete part of their coursework during the practical phases and receive 30 additional ECTS points for this. As a result, our study programme is assessed with 210 ECTS points and is nationally and internationally accredited as an intensive study programme.

If you are interested in a dual partnership, please contact us through the company form. Here you will be asked for basic data about your company and supervising staff.

In the second step, our programme management checks whether your company is suitable for a dual partnership with the programme. To this end, we will contact you directly for preliminary talks, individual consultations and/or company visits.

If the qualification is confirmed, you will be officially accredited as a dual partner by the DHBW University Council.

Now the partnering company is able to reserve one or more study places and to start recruiting future dual students. Dual partners can opt in to be included in the official list of companies to be published on our websites. This list is being updated regularly.

Candidates for our dual media design degree programme are selected by the dual partners according to their respective criteria of creative and design aptitude and experience. A basic academic requirement on the part of the DHBW is the general or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification (Abitur). Under certain conditions, students with a higher education entrance qualification and those with vocational qualifications can also be admitted (more).

After the study contract has been signed and the student has sent all relevant documents (original study contract, a certified copy of the Abitur certificate, CV, 2 photos, if applicable FH certificate with confirmation of passing the delta test or the study counselling) to the Media Design office, the prospective student is admitted and enrolled. Congratulations on the dual partnership!
