Similar to cooperative study programs offered by many companies, our curriculum combines practical training with a university education. Starting from day one, you will work on real projects alongside professional software developers. Parallel to your training on-the-job you will pursue a bachelor’s degree in computer science or business informatics at FernUniversität Hagen.
The time split between work and study is 50 / 50 at 20 hours weekly for each activity. Everything will take place at our HQ so you don’t have to commute between uni and work like you would have to in many other dual study programs. For your university degree you will receive an individual coaching from FernUniversität Alumni who know exactly how the curriculum works and how to prepare best for the exams.
During your time at P&T, we pay your university tuition and all coaching fees. On top of that, you will receive a salary of at least 800 € monthly. As you make progress through the program your salary will increase dynamically. .
