The perfect start for your career: a dual study program at Diehl.

You will soon pass your university entrance exams and are looking for a good foundation for your career right from the start? Then come to Diehl and start your career right away. With a dual study program. It combines the best of two worlds: theoretical lectures at a university or university of cooperative education and practical work in one of our corporate divisions or our headquarters. At the end of your studies, you will have an internationally recognized Bachelor's degree and the best prospects for a career in our technology group.

You are our future!

At Diehl, we have high standards for what we do every day. After all, we develop nothing less than technologies of the future. An ambitious goal that we can only achieve if we train tomorrow's experts today. That is why we value students who think ahead - and our students benefit from us. We cooperate with various universities throughout Germany and offer attractive opportunities not only before but also after you graduate. If you have what it takes and impress us during your dual study program, you can take the next step in your career right away: our trainee program. Would you like to learn more about our university-related activities? Then take a look at websites like XING, Jobware and Berufsstart. You will find further information there.

VERY IMPORTANT: NETWORKING.

  • A good network is a decisive career factor. That is why we create many opportunities for you to get to know other students as well as experienced Diehl colleagues. For example, we regularly host site visits or practical experience days in the Nuremberg area, where Diehl Metering and Diehl Metall cooperate with the Technical University of Nuremberg Georg Simon Ohm. For Students' Day, students are invited to the headquarters once a semester to learn more about our company, and at the Regulars' Table, students and alumni meet in a relaxed setting to connect and exchange ideas.

WE DEMAND A LOT. BUT YOU ALSO GET A LOT IN RETURN.

  • As mentioned above, all doors are open to you if you really commit yourself during your studies. You will be coached by experts and managers, you will have regular opportunities to exchange experiences, you will get internship offers and invitations to internal events. In addition, we support particularly talented students of the RWTH Aachen University, the TH Nuremberg and the FAU Nuremberg over a longer period of time as Diehl scholarship holders – this also includes financial support. In addition, we award a sponsorship prize: Some of the best annual graduates at Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen-Nuremberg receive a prize from us.

    You get even more.

    In the long term, we can only be successful with committed young talents like you. That is why we do a lot to make your everyday working life as pleasant as possible and offer a range of attractive benefits. Depending on your location, you can expect a wide range of benefits.
