BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION – TRIAL MODEL (B.A.)
(BWL-TM)
The idea
The term "Trial Model" refers to a cooperation between training companies, vocational schools and universities. The Trial Model combines a traineeship in a bank, at a tax consultancy or in an industrial company with a college degree. It thereby enables particularly dedicated and qualified high school graduates to acquire a vocational qualification and a Bachelor in Business Administration in only four years.
Hereby, individual agreements between the training company and trainees can go further and bind the students to the business during their education (e.g. internship semester, undergraduate work, part-time employment, financial support) and afterwards.
The aim
- Two European-wide recognised qualifications: Chamber of Commerce degree: Bank clerk, Industrial clerk, Certified Tax Consultant
- Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration
- Shortening of the total training time
- Vocational education in 2 years instead of the normal period of 2.5 to 3 years
- Through the combination of the vocational training with the first two semesters of the college education, they are able to receive their degree with 2 years of university study after completion of the vocational qualification instead of 3 years.
- Training period of 4 years instead of 5.5 or 6 years.
