The Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg (DHBW) is Germany's first statewide dual university. Established in 2009, it enrolls over 30,000 students across nine locations, including Stuttgart, Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Ravensburg, and Lörrach. This makes the DHBW Baden-Württemberg's largest higher education institution by enrollment. The public cooperative university exclusively operates on the dual education model, in which students alternate between three-month theoretical phases at the university and three-month practical phases at one of over 8,000 partner companies, including Daimler, Bosch, SAP, Porsche, and numerous Mittelstand firms.

Most Selective Master Programs at DHBW

For degree courses with a numerus clausus, part of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average (GPA) of the previous degree. Selection is generally based on how many applicants apply for a place. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to get onto the course. The German grading system ranges from 1.0 (very good) to 6.0 (unsatisfactory).
