DUAL CURRICULUM AT THE BMW GROUP.

Theoretically the best decision. Practically too.

Our dual study programmes are as diverse as your talents and strengths.

The biggest benefits for me with BMW as a practice partner is the network and the practical experience – but also the mentoring. This allows me to grow personally.

Dual Curriculum with a future.

TWO TYPES OF DUAL STUDIES.

DUAL CURRICULUM.

During your training, you will study a corresponding course of study at one of our partner universities. In the end, you have both a bachelor's and a professional degree. The duration is usually 4.5 years, with a few exceptions. During the duration of the course, training and study contents are subject to regular changes, which means you are partly at the university and partly in practical assignments with us. Your BMW assignments can be both central vocational training and deployment sites in our specialist areas.

STUDIES WITH IN-DEPTH PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE.

In contrast to the dual curriculum programme, you only complete your practical assignments at the BMW Group – so the proportion of vocational training is a little lower. In the end, you will have a bachelor's degree, but not a professional one. The duration is usually about 4.5 years. At the beginning you do an internship of about one year. This way, you will receive practical experiences before you start your studies.
