You are financially secure and acquire a thorough knowledge of a company while you are still studying.

If you decide to take the “Degree Programme Plus” option, you combine an apprenticeship and a degree programme (leading to a B.Eng. degree) at Esslingen.

With the “degree programme with enhanced phases of practical experience”, you enter into an agreement with one of our partner companies to complete all the practical phases of your programme in that company and work there during the semester break. In return, the company supports you financially while you are studying.
