What our graduates say
The dual studies program was the ideal way for me to combine theory and practical experience and to facilitate my entry into professional life through practical lectures. The exchange with the professors was also enriching beyond the content - current industry topics and economic developments were discussed together. I was much better prepared for my master's degree in many areas.
