Want to pursue your studies while gaining professional experience? Looking to achieve financial independence during your studies and hit the ground running in your career? With our StudiumPLUS Ausbildung or Trainee programs, you can have it all: a degree from Hochschule Offenburg and valuable hands-on experience in a company.

2 Degrees in Record Time

With the StudiumPLUS Ausbildung program, you can earn two full-fledged degrees in just 4.5 years: your vocational certificate from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) and your bachelor's degree in engineering or science. You’ll start with on-the-job training and then transition into your degree program. The benefit for you: You’ll receive a fixed salary throughout the entire program.

Benefits of the StudiumPLUS Ausbildung Program

2 Degrees Under Your Belt

Earn two full-fledged degrees at once: In just 4.5 years, you can combine your bachelor’s degree (in engineering or science) with an IHK vocational degree.

Financially Independent From Day One

Focus fully on your studies. Your partner company will pay you a monthly training stipend for the entire duration of the program.

Your Direct Jump into the Real World

You'll complete your practical semester and write your thesis directly at the company—ensuring a seamless transition from your studies to your career and excellent career prospects.

Learning with a Real "Aha!" Moment

Apply the theory from the lecture directly to your tasks at work. This close alignment will help you understand complex concepts more quickly and develop real problem-solving skills.

Reach Your Goal Faster

Start your career sooner: Instead of spending up to 7 years in total on vocational training and college one after the other, with StudiumPLUS Ausbildung you can reach both milestones in just 4.5 years.

A Strong Network Behind You

You are part of a strong community. The close collaboration between the University and businesses, along with personalized support, will guide you successfully through both degrees.

StudiumPLUS Ausbildung Structure

Your Start: Focus on Training (1st Year)
You’ll begin your first year of training directly at the company and attend vocational school. You’ll learn the practical fundamentals of your profession and become part of the team.

Semesters 1 through 4: Combining Study and Practical Experience (Years 2–3)
In your second year, you’ll begin your studies at HSO. During non-lecture periods and on one practical training day per week, you’ll continue working at your company. This way, you’ll stay on top of things and earn your own money.

Semester 5: IHK Certification & Practical Semester (4th Year)
A milestone: You’ll complete your practical semester at your training company and take your skilled worker exam administered by the IHK. From now on, you’ll have your first professional certification securely in hand.

Semesters 6–7: Specialization & Bachelor’s Degree Thesis (4.5 years)
You’ll focus on your area of specialization in your studies. In the 7th semester, you’ll write your bachelor’s degree thesis—naturally, on an exciting topic directly related to your company.

Questions & Answers

Is StudiumPLUS the same as a dual degree program?

Almost! It’s a great combination of academic study and hands-on experience, similar to a dual degree program. The advantage with us is that you have more flexibility in choosing your program.

What requirements do I need to meet? 

You need a general university entry qualification or a subject-specific high school diploma (or a diploma qualifying for admission to a university of applied sciences). It’s important to note: You must first submit an application to a company for a StudiumPLUS apprenticeship position and sign your contract with that company.

How do I find a partner company?

We're here to support you! Check out our list of companies or reach out directly to businesses in the region. Many companies in the Ortenau region are familiar with and value the PLUS model.

Is there a list of partner companies? 

Yes! Many well-known companies in the region work closely with us. Take a look at our list or simply reach out to the company of your choice directly—it’s often possible to get started even with new partners.

When do I need to submit an application? 

Since you'll be starting your apprenticeship, you should submit an application to companies about one year before it begins (usually in the summer or fall). As soon as you have your apprenticeship contract, you can enroll in our program.

What happens if I don't complete the training program?

Don't worry: Your degree program and your apprenticeship are legally separate contracts. We'll provide you with personalized advice on how to proceed in a situation like this.

Your Partners: Find the Right Match

This is where theory and practice come together. Within our network of strong regional companies, you’ll find exactly the right partner to help you achieve your goals.

ECG Energie Consulting GmbH

As an energy consulting firm, we develop solutions to optimize energy costs across a wide range of industries and sectors.

Specialists with an eye for the big picture: True to our guiding principle, “Use energy intelligently,” we serve more than 1,000 customers—independently of manufacturers and suppliers—by not only developing strategies but also implementing efficient solutions, and we support our customers over the long term as they put these solutions into practice.

That is why the expertise of our employees is the linchpin of our work. As “specialists with an eye for the big picture,” we examine problems from various angles and are able to develop optimal solutions by combining different approaches. On the one hand, we manage diverse projects in technology-driven industries with complex, energy-intensive production processes. On the other hand, companies in which energy as a production factor is not actively managed—and where there is therefore often significant potential for designing a modern, sustainable energy architecture—benefit particularly from our engineering expertise.

Engineers, industrial engineers, and graduates of natural science programs play an important role for us; that is why Energie Consulting GmbH is also a partner company of the StudiumPLUS dual study program at Hochschule Offenburg.
