Practice and Projects: Make an impact while you study!
At our university, studies aren't confined to theory in lecture halls. During your studies, you'll have the opportunity to develop concrete strategies and measures in the field of sustainability and environmental management for external clients, making a real impact. For example, in the "Project Study Practice" module in the 6th semester, you will work on practical, relevant issues in teams with fellow students. Topics may include expanding a company's brand strategy to include sustainability aspects for local businesses, developing a proposal for a sustainable organization at THI, or implementing circular economy practices at the Neuburg an der Donau campus. At the end of the semester, you will present your results to the clients. This seminar helps you apply your technical and methodological knowledge to practical, real-world problems in a target-oriented manner.

The dual studies programme enables a combination of practical training elements in a company with the theoretical education provided by the university. There is a choice of either the joint model (academic study + vocational training) or the degree course with vocational experience (academic study + intense practical phases). There is an obvious advantage to students here: practically oriented academic study generally enables a particularly smooth transition from university to the world of work. What is more, the student usually receives financial remuneration from the company concerned.
In the joint model, students may start working at the company several months before the start of the first semester, depending on the company concerned. At the start of the course there is an alternation between theory (during the semester) and practical experience (between semesters and during the practical semesters). In order to embark on a dual studies programme, students have to apply to both a company and to THI (be sure to take note of company application deadlines!).
