Dual study programme at Scheidt - optimally combining theory and practice

Insights from Til Kühnel, dual student in the 2nd semester of electrical engineering specialising in electrical power engineering at the Cooperative State University in Bautzen and at Scheidt in Hoyerswerda.

"I alternate between spending several weeks at the university and then back at the site in Hoyerswerda. This allows me to apply and deepen my theoretical knowledge directly in practice. During my time so far, I've already been able to gain a lot of experience in production - particularly in terms of the technology used and production and assembly processes. I am currently gaining my first insights into work preparation and getting to know the processes behind the technical processes even better."

"It was important to me to gain practical experience during my studies and to have a direct link to the world of work. A dual study programme also offers financial security. I was already fascinated by electrical engineering at school and I see a promising professional future here."

"Scheidt specialises in the manufacture of transformer stations and switchgear houses made of reinforced concrete as well as electrical engineering. The company has sites in Rinteln, Arnstadt and here in Hoyerswerda, where I work. I am particularly impressed by the combination of traditional craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology that is practised here. I also appreciate the excellent working environment and the friendly colleagues who support me at all times."

For Operations Manager Gerd Zimmermann, the dual study programme is very important.

"I've had the dual study programme on my radar for a long time, as I think it prepares me extremely well for a career. This is also shown by the above-average placement rate of dual study programmes. Here in Saxony, we had the Berufsakademie, which has now become the Duale Hochschule Sachsen. With Til, we at Scheidt are finally starting the 'dual study programme' chapter. The distance to the Cooperative State University in Bautzen is still acceptable and I think that his degree programme will simply give him the best of both worlds - university and company, theory and practice. We are very pleased to have Til in our team. He works calmly and focussed, and we support him wherever we can."
