The part-time study program

Studying while working is also possible at Fachhochschule Dortmund. A large number of study programs can be completed as a combined study program or part-time. This allows you to obtain a Bachelor's or Master's degree while working.

The part-time study model makes it possible to combine work, study and family life

Fachhochschule Dortmund offers the possibility of completing certain study programs as a combined study program to accompany a career and family. In addition to self-study components, which make up around 70% of the combined degree course, there are regular attendance events, which account for around 30%.

The combination of theory and practice as well as the acquisition of interdisciplinary skills required by Business Studies and politics is taken into account in a special way. The disadvantages of a purely distance learning course are avoided.

The combined study program offers an ideal opportunity to combine family and career with a course of study:

The on-campus events usually take place every two weeks. In the case of the Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, you can also expect two full-day revision sessions. Furthermore, examinations are also taken on 2-3 Saturdays per semester, making it easier to organize childcare.
Self-study also offers a high degree of individual flexibility, as there are no fixed study times.
The combined study program is also a possible form of professional qualification during parental leave.
