Study with practical relevance

More than just theory: start your dual study program.

Want to apply your university knowledge directly in your everyday working life and gain valuable practical experience? A dual study program at ElringKlinger makes this possible – with exciting tasks, international prospects, and excellent future opportunities.

In cooperation with the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University, we offer you a practical degree program with regular alternation between theory and practice. You will take on responsibility, contribute your own ideas, and get to know our business areas in depth – including abroad.

Many of our dual students stay with us after graduation. That speaks for our model and for you as part of our team.

I appreciated the diverse insights gained from working in different departments and getting to know several locations. This allowed me to find out which job profiles suit me best.
