Launch your career with dual studies

Combine practical competence and theoretical expertise

One training, two degrees

What is an integrated dual study program?

The training-integrated dual study program combines a Bachelor's degree at the TH Köln, Gummersbach campus with dual training at WSM.

Dual students thus learn at three locations:

University, company, and vocational school.

Due to the close link between science and practice, graduates of a dual study program are sought-after professionals, as they bring extensive expertise from theory and practice. An integrated dual study program can thus be your springboard into the working world.

Not for the faint-hearted!

You've come to the right place if...

...you are a top performer, as this form of study places particularly high demands on previous school knowledge, stamina and resilience. Does all this apply to you? Then WSM is the right place for you!
