High level of practical relevance

Students can start the dual study programme in computer science either in the winter or summer semester. For the winter semester, applications close on 1 September, and for the summer semester, on 1 March. The university courses hold great importance to a high level of practical relevance. Throughout the study, students complete three practical phases in an IT partner company such as SPEDION. Besides the higher level of practical experience, graduates of a dual study programme often have good chances of being hired by the company as well as receive remuneration during this period.

The Cooperative Degree Programme in Computer Science is open to school graduates with a general university entrance qualification, a Hesse-valid subject-related entrance qualification or a technical college entrance qualification. The course is NC-free – there are no admission restrictions. Prior to enrolment, the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences requires a student contract with SPEDION as one of its IT partner companies. SPEDION has a branch office in Darmstadt, located only 2.5 kilometres from the university. You can find all the necessary information regarding the application process here.
