What does combined studies or study with deep practice mean?
Studying in combined studies or with in-depth practice means that you learn at at least two learning locations; there are regular alternating times at the university and in the company. Thanks to the integrated vocational training in combined studies, this variant takes 4.5 years while the studies can be completed with in-depth practice in 3.5 years.
Combined studies – studying with in-depth practice – what is it?
The combined studies (only Bachelor's degree programmes!)
During a combined studies, you study in parallel with a journeyman's education (with an IHK/HWK degree) in a company that cooperates with us. Theory and practice cannot be better to go hand in hand. You start with the 3- or 3.5 years of vocational training in the company and after approx. You will start your first semester in parallel at the same time.
Bachelor's degree with in-depth practice
Studying with in-depth practice can be bachelor's and master's degree programmes in various subject areas.
Bachelor's programme with in-depth practice means that during your scientific studies you complete intensive practical phases in a company/operation that go beyond compulsory internships – but without seeking vocational training.
You can only start your studies and decide on a subject-oriented intensive practical phase in a later semester.
Studies in conjunction or with in-depth practice according to the study model "Digital and Regional"
The Bavarian-Swabian study model "Digital and Regional" with its unique part-time course "Systems Engineering (B.Eng.)" offers an innovative opportunity to study. What is special about it: Together with regional partner companies, specialists study part-time on two working days per week, either in addition to the profession or dual – and that through so-called blended learning, a combination of face-to-face events and e-learning. The face-to-face events take place at the University Centre Donau-Ries in Nördlingen or at the University Centre Memmingen. Depending on the proximity to where our residence, the attendance days can be visited at one or another location. The study participants are employed in the other three working days: in their partner companies.
Further information on the courses on the courses can be found on the corresponding website under the website for digital-und-regional
Master's degree with in-depth practice
A master's degree with in-depth practice usually lasts usually. 1.5 years (3 semesters) full-time. The students spend at least 34 weeks (or at least half of the standard period of study) in the company. This time is made up of presence during the lecture-free periods (approx. 4 months or 16 weeks) and the master's thesis (min. 4.5 months or 18 weeks) together.
Special variant of the study with in-depth practice after the I.C.S. Conveyor model
One variant of studying with in-depth practice is the I.C.S. Model offered together with the I.C.S. Friends Association in the Faculty of Computer Science. In this model, the faculty proposes the best students for the programme after the first semesters. The association takes over the coordination and supports the matching of students and companies.
What models does the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg offer?
The Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg basically offers all models in various disciplines. Even a combination of master education and bachelor's degree in civil engineering.
We offer an overview on our websites.
How do I apply for a combined degree?

As a joint student:in or student with in-depth practice, proof of admission to the study (admission notice) and the training or employment contractof the practice partner is also important. This allows the work permit to be requested as part of the visa procedure (approval by the Federal Employment Agency). This process is essential because not only study, but also works.
When applying for visas, the individual case is considered and examined, with several aspects of several aspects of the decision on the award of visas. The procedure described is only to be understood as a recommendation for action.

What is the difference between combined studies and studies with in-depth practice?
During a combined degree or studying with in-depth practice, university studies are optimally combined with operational practice. There are two learning locations: university and companies.
There are two different study models at the Bavarian state universities of applied sciences:
- Studies with in-depth practice (integrating: Bachelor's or Master's degree with a lot of practice)
- Joint studies (education-integrated: Bachelor's degree programme with integrated vocational training)
How do I become a cooperation partner of the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg?
