Berufsakademie Göttingen

The Berufsakademie Göttingen is a state-recognized, private university of cooperative education that offers dual-study bachelor's programs in business administration, engineering, and social services. These programs are offered in partnership with regional companies. Following the German dual education model, students split their time between theoretical study in Göttingen and practical training at partner companies, typically alternating between three-month academic and practical phases over three years while earning training salaries. Located in the traditional university city of Göttingen, which has a population of 120,000 and is dominated by Georg-August-Universität with its 30,000 students, the small Berufsakademie operates separately from the main university ecosystem.
