We are in constant need of young committed new talent who want to achieve their potential and realise their ideas. HAILO can offer you plenty of career opportunities and great prospects. We excel at hands-on learning and first-rate in-depth supervision.
The Dual Study principle
The foundation for modern learning is laid when the theory and practice complement each other and academic training is applied hands-on. We think it’s a particularly valuable approach. Because in a world of rapid change, agility is the name of the game. And there’s no coasting with the Dual Study principle. Theory and practice alternate constantly, and you apply what you’ve learned directly in real business processes and project-based tasks. The benefits are obvious: you’ll be on a fast, active, hands-on degree course that’s paid for!

More about StudiumPlus
Who is involved in the StudiumPlus programme?
StudiumPlus is offered in collaboration with Mittelhessen University of Applied Sciences in Gießen, the Central Hesse Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry – through lead chambers Dillenburg CCI and Wetzlar CCI – as well as companies in the region who are affiliated to the CCD (see below).
What is the CCD?
The CCD, or “CompetenceCenter Duale Hochschulstudien StudiumPlus”, is an amalgamation of companies involved in StudiumPlus (the Business Club) and Dillenburg and Wetzlar Chambers of Commerce and Industry. It works in collaboration with the Mittelhessen University of Applied Sciences in Gießen.
How is StudiumPlus financed?
The standard teaching programme provided by StudiumPlus is financed by the State of Hesse. All other course content is financed by contributions from the CCD’s member companies, e.g. small group work, supervision of work placements, business etiquette seminars, business ethics, mentor programmes and the facilities provided at Spilburg Business Park in Wetzlar.
What influence do the companies have on the course content?
The Dual Study Academy (ZDH) sets out the course content and is supported and advised in this role by an advisory panel known as the Curatorium. This body comprises representatives of the companies and the university who come together on equal terms.
What is a bachelor’s degree?
In Europe, a bachelor’s is the first academic degree which is awarded after a graduate course of study of 7 semesters including mostly practical work. The four or five years of study which was traditional in many European countries was replaced by bachelor’s and master’s courses as part of the Bologna Process. In Germany, bachelor’s degrees may only be awarded by academic universities and universities of applied sciences which is similar to most European countries. Having graduated with a bachelor’s degree, students can then continue (depending on their interests, marks and professional experience) with a postgraduate master’s course. This may involve either deepening their academic knowledge in their specialism or acquiring practical knowledge in a different specialism.

When does it start?
The pre-study placement starts on 1 August. The course commences at the University of Applied Sciences in October at the start of the winter semester.
