Practice-integrated studies / dual studies

In the practice-integrated degree program, you will be employed by DFT for the entire duration of your studies. This provides an optimal combination of academic work and professional practice. The aim is to apply what you have learned in theory in practice and the other way round. At the same time, you will get to know the practical work at DFT. Have you opted for a dual study program? We will pay the semester fees for you so that you can focus on your studies and work.

Your advantages in the dual study program at DFT

You will gain professional experience and can start your career immediately after graduation. Our aim is to offer you a job after successfully completing the dual study program.

You are right in the center of the action right from the start; as a permanent team member, you work with great colleagues and experience appreciation and team spirit.

Learn and participate! During the practical phase, you will already be actively involved in day-to-day business and will be given your own tasks.

No expenses for student fees - because we pay them for you!

Studying full-time won't earn you any money. You look for a part-time job that may have nothing to do with your studies. An apprenticeship or dual study program is different; you receive a regular income right from the start.

The dual study program eliminates the search for a company where you can write your Bachelor's thesis and the associated writing of applications.

Girls’Day at DFT

On Girls’ Day, we regularly show interested girls who we are and what career opportunities we offer! Up to 15 girls regularly have the opportunity to experience an exciting day at DFT.

DFT is actively committed to promoting young talent and is happy about the girls’ interest in intralogistics. The feedback from the participants shows that Girls’ Day was a complete success. We are pleased that we were able to open up a path to technical interest through the open insights and hands-on activities. Perhaps a day like this will enable some of the participants to find their way into our industry in the future.
