Dual Study Program at ELASKON – Discover the Benefits.

A unique blend of theory and practice

The dual degree program at the Saxony University of Applied Sciences in Dresden combines the best of both worlds: a solid theoretical education at the university level and hands-on experience in a company. By alternating regularly between theoretical phases at the university and practical phases at the company, students learn to apply and expand their knowledge directly. As a classic medium-sized manufacturing company, ELASKON covers all stages of the value chain within the company. From research and development in our in-house laboratory, through central production at our Dresden site, to procurement, sales, and marketing, all the way to accounting: with us, your future practical partner for a dual degree program in Dresden, you’ll gain comprehensive insight into all business management aspects of a medium-sized company.

Competitive compensation and financial independence

A dual degree program offers you not only an excellent combination of theory and practice, but also an attractive salary. Unlike a traditional degree program, you receive regular compensation from your industry partner throughout your studies. This financial security allows you to focus fully on your studies—for example, in business administration—during the theoretical phases. We pay our students above-average wages and offer you additional attractive benefits such as massage services, employee sports programs, and capital-forming benefits. Start now with a dual business administration program that offers you both financial independence and a wide range of development opportunities.

A recognized degree with career prospects

Students complete their dual degree program at the Saxony Dual University with an accredited bachelor’s degree that is recognized both nationally and internationally. During your practical training phases with us as a practice partner in the Saxony Dual University’s Business Administration program, you’ll gain deep insights into day-to-day business operations and gain valuable professional experience. This close integration of theory and practice ensures that you not only acquire in-depth subject knowledge but also practical skills that significantly improve your chances of securing a permanent position after graduation. Choose a dual degree program in Business Administration with us as your practice partner and lay the foundation for a successful career!

Individualized support and close guidance

With its small class sizes, the Saxony Cooperative State University in Dresden offers ideal conditions for close, personalized support during the dual study program. Students benefit from direct collaboration with faculty members and BA Dresden industry partners, who create an intensive, hands-on learning environment. Personal strengths and interests are specifically nurtured throughout the program. You’ll also receive intensive support during the practical phases of the dual study program in Dresden. In addition to the practical tasks in day-to-day operations, which you will learn with the support of your respective department supervisors, we take extra time for you—especially when it comes to guiding you through your coursework and thesis.
