Become a cooperation partner for the Computer Science Dual degree program at Fachhochschule Dortmund

Fachhochschule Dortmund offers the Computer Science Dual study program exclusively in collaboration with cooperation partners. The basis for this is a cooperation agreement that regulates the interaction between theory (university studies) and practice (company training).

An additional study contract defines the details of the cooperation - without interfering with the entrepreneurial freedom of decision.

Training-integrated degree course with IHK qualification

In the training-integrated model, students conclude a training contract with the company in parallel, which is recognized by the relevant Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK). In this way, students simultaneously acquire a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and a Chamber of Industry and Commerce qualification - a strong argument in the competition for skilled workers.

Advantages for cooperation partners

Fachhochschule Dortmund supports companies with numerous services:

• Use of the dual job market to recruit suitable students
• Listing as an official cooperation partner on the university website for greater visibility among prospective students
• Access to the company portal with important information on timetables, examinations and study organization

Fachhochschule Dortmund relies on close cooperation with its partners to make the Computer Science Dual study program practical and future-oriented.

Formats for active participation

Cooperation partners have the opportunity to play an active role in the study program - through various cooperation formats, including

• Curriculum advisory board - influence on the content and further development of the study program
• Curriculum development - helping to shape the course content for an optimal theoretical-practical integration
• Coordination meetings - exchange on organizational processes and coordination with trainers
• Regulars' table - non-binding networking and exchange on all aspects of study and practice

Curriculum advisory board: helping to shape instead of just being there

The Curriculum Advisory Board is convened regularly in the course of reaccreditations and important changes to degree programs . Cooperation partners - including executives and management representatives - play an active role in shaping the content and professional orientation for the coming years.

Practical teaching through projects and internships

Through firmly integrated practical phases such as:

• Practical phase 1
• Software internship (SOPRA)
• Integration internship (INPRA)
• Practical phase 2
• Seminar, project and bachelor theses

... companies can incorporate their individual practical topics directly into teaching and introduce students to their work processes at an early stage.
