Dual study at RAPA

“Two in One” joint degree program

Why choose between studying and training when you can have both?

A dual study program combines a technical or business degree with vocational training. This means that in addition to your IHK training qualification, you will also obtain a Bachelor’s degree from one of our partner universities. As you are aiming for two degrees with your dual study program, this naturally requires a little more commitment and organizational skills than with traditional vocational training. As a student, you will be employed by us for the entire 4.5-year period, allowing you to put your newly acquired knowledge into practice immediately. In addition, you already have a permanent partner for your internship semester and for your thesis.

“We believe that each of our trainees or dual students is an investment in the future – especially in times of a shortage of skilled workers, training is a classic win-win situation for everyone. We are delighted to be able to offer pupils a wide range of opportunities to start their careers,” says Theresa Rödel.

And this is how it works

You start with in-company training and spend the first year alternating between RAPA and vocational school. At the same time, you will start your studies at Hof University of Applied Sciences or Coburg University of Applied Sciences in the second year. During the semester break and in the practical semesters, you will consolidate what you have learned so far in practice. No gray theory, but right from the start!
