  • training in companies or public administrations can build on the content of the degree course.
  • the cooperation between the university and the company ensures an up-to-date and practice-oriented study program that also provides the company or public administration with development impulses.
  • you can voluntarily take advantage of further cooperation with other training companies through internal formats.
  • You can influence the technical orientation and focus of the course as part of the curriculum advisory board.
  • the vocational school is replaced by the university during vocational training.
  • You can use internal formats to exchange information with other training companies on topics and structures within the scope of training.
  • You can combine projects as part of your studies with different areas of the university, e.g. in research.

Organizational cooperation

Cooperation with partners is regulated by a cooperation agreement. This refers to the general interaction between theory (studies) and practice (profession). A study contract regulates the details, but does not interfere with entrepreneurial freedom. This means that the Fachhochschule Dortmund only offers the Computer Science Dual study program in the Faculty of Computer Science in conjunction with a cooperation partner.

In the training-integrated form, a training contract is concluded between the student and the cooperation partner via the responsible regional Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

For our cooperation partners, Fachhochschule Dortmund offers a range of services such as use of the dual job market, listing as a cooperation partner for prospective students, information about the degree program with a company portal (e.g. timetables and examination schedules). All services can be found in the company portal.

Professional cooperation

Active professional cooperation takes place mainly via the trainers and practice representatives in detail. Cooperation partners can voluntarily contribute to the study program through various formats. These formats include the curriculum advisory board, curriculum, coordination meetings, regulars' table and individual projects.

Every study program must be reviewed after a certain interval, e.g. as part of a reaccreditation. In the event of significant changes, the Curriculum Advisory Board is convened to determine the professional orientation for the coming years. This is actively shaped and influenced by the cooperation partners. Persons from the management of the cooperation partners are also involved.

Active participation in the curriculum is mandatory in order to ensure a close link between theory and practice. The software internship (SOPRA), integration internship (INPRA), seminar, project and Bachelor's thesis provide many opportunities to incorporate topics and practical constellations into teaching.

At the coordination meetings, there is a direct exchange between the trainers and practice representatives. Organizational matters and general processes are discussed and coordinated here.

The regulars' table offers a direct, non-binding exchange on all areas of study, practice and training.

In the case of individual projects as part of the course, direct cooperation or further research projects can be discussed with the lecturers.

Cooperation

With the conclusion of the cooperation agreement, organizational and professional cooperation is made possible within the framework of the Computer Science Dual study program.

The primary supervision of the dual students during the 9th semester is carried out by the trainer in the company or public administration. This\r has all rights and obligations within the framework of the training and during the course of studies, e.g. checking the performance status every semester. The primary flow of information for companies or public administrations is via this company portal, which is activated after the cooperation agreement has been concluded.
