The dual Bachelor’s program in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science is a practice-integrated program in which parts of the training are conducted at a company and the academic program is closely integrated with real-world professional practice. It is expected that the student will take on a relevant position upon completion of the program. The company provides the student with a monthly study stipend, which does not need to be repaid if the student remains employed by the company for a sufficiently long period afterward.

A sponsorship agreement or an employment contract should be signed between the student and the company. A sample contract with explanatory notes can be found on the Siegen Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) website under “Dual Study Programs.”

In addition, the following applies to the dual degree program in Computer Science: 

To enroll in the dual Bachelor’s program in Computer Science, a cooperation agreement must be signed between the student, the company, and the university. The appendices to this agreement also contain more detailed information on the structure of the work and training phases at the company. Before enrollment, the agreement must be signed in triplicate by the student and the company. The three signed copies of the agreement must then be sent to the University of Siegen, Department 3, Adolf-Reichwein-Str. 2, 57076 Siegen.
