If, during your apprenticeship, you shine with special achievements and display even more potential, we’ll support you. As an outstanding commercial or technical apprentice, you may even be selected for a dual study-and-work program leading to a Bachelor of Arts: Business Administration or Bachelor of Engineering: Mechanical Engineering. You can study at FOM University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf, Neuss, and Siegen, at Siegen University, or at Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences. The advantage for you? Following the three-and-a-half-year part-time or full-time course, you not only attain your Chamber of Commerce vocational qualification, but also hold a Bachelor degree.




Combine your university course with a trade or technical apprenticeship.
Combine your university course with a trade or technical apprenticeship. During the breaks between semesters, you can work in your future profession. That means you get the benefit of both worlds. We make this possible with our dual study-and-work scheme.
