Our flyer gives you an overview of the dual study programme. The dual study programme is used as a study programme variant. This means that you complete your university studies together with full-time students and attend the same modules. However, some courses take the form of practical modules. The university will provide a theoretical introduction to the content. These are transferred to practical projects in the enterprise in order to support the theory-practice transfer and increase relevance.
Programme structure with practical day in the enterprise (see graphic) or without practical day in the enterprise.
The dual study programme at the Department of Applied Computer Science comprises 6 semesters (B.Sc.)/ 4 semesters (M.Sc.) and is structured in such a way that periods at the university and at the practical placement partner take place in transfer:
| Lecture period | 4 days of university studies at the Fulda University of Applied Sciences possibly 1 practical day at the practical placement partner*. |
| Examination period | Practical placement days at the practical placement partner Time off for examination days |
| Lecture-free period | Practical placement days with the practical placement partner |
* is determined by the practical placement partner in the learning agreement
The final semester is completed entirely at the enterprise as part of a practical phase (Bachelor's degree) and the writing of the thesis.
Vorteile
Enterprise
Firstly, you apply to one of our practical placement partners (step 1). You send all relevant documents, such as your transcript of records, curriculum vitae, etc., to the enterprise and go through a normal application process. Once you have reached an agreement with an enterprise about the dual study programme, you conclude a learning agreement (step 2). Finally, you apply to the university (3rd step, see below).
As a rule, enterprises start the application process early, sometimes more than a year in advance. However, as not all positions can always be filled, an application at a later stage may still be worthwhile.
Applications with a German university entrance qualification or a first degree in Germany must be submitted via the Fulda University of Applied Sciences application portal. The application period for the winter semester (Bachelor's degree and Master's degree) starts on 15 April and ends on 30 September. For the summer semester (Master's only), applications can be submitted from 15 October to 31 March.
Applications with a foreign university entrance qualification or a first degree from outside Germany must be submitted via the uni-assist application portal. The application period for the winter semester (Bachelor's degree and Master's degree) starts on 1 March and ends on 30 September. For the summer semester (Master's degree only), applications can be submitted from 1 September to 31 March . However, it is advisable not to wait until the last day. When applying via uni-assist, you can also upload your learning agreement. The status of your application can be viewed on the uni-assist portal. If you are admitted, you will receive access data for horstl from the Student Administration Office. You can then accept your place (see step3.2). You can find further information in the application guide with international transcripts of records.
- First create a profile in the application portal.
- Now you can "add an application" on the platform. To do this, you are guided through the catalogue of questions.
- "Your desired study programme": Enter your study programme here. The distinction between the dual degree programme variant is only made in the 2nd step.
- Bachelor's degree in Applied Computer Science (SPO 2024)
- Bachelor's degree in business informatics (SPO 2020)
- Master's in Applied Computer Science (SPO 2024)
- As a rule, you also choose the 1st semester ("1.FS").
- Bachelor's degree:
- After you have submitted your application, you will automatically receive admission.
- Master:
- As you need a first degree in computer science or a study programme related to computer science with a grade of at least 2.5 as a condition, your transcript of records will first be checked manually.
- Once you have been admitted to the study programme, you can accept the place directly. To do this, click on "Accept place" on the overview page. If you are automatically admitted to a Bachelor's programme, you will be redirected here immediately.
- You will then have to answer a few more questions. It is important here that the student semester fee is paid by you and not by your practical placement partner by direct debit mandate.
- For the university entrance qualification, the graduation certificate must be uploaded.
- You also need to add your learning agreement with your practical placement partner.
- After you have clicked on "Hand in documents", the status changes to "Place applied for".
