We are excited to give you an inside look into the Dual Study Program at Verticas. Recently, we interviewed Thea, one of our new dual students in Graphic, Communication, and Media Design, about her decision and expectations. We are delighted to share her insights with you.
Why a Dual Study Program?
Thea explains that after completing her training as a media designer, she wanted to continue learning without losing the practical aspect. A dual study program seemed like the perfect combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application.
Challenges in the Dual Study Program
Thea sees balancing studying, learning, and working as the biggest challenge. However, she is optimistic and excited about this new challenge. "I believe it can all be managed," she says.
Benefits of Combining Theory and Practice
Thea aims to broaden her horizons while gaining practical experience on real projects. A full-time study program would be too theoretical for her. The mix of theory and practice keeps her engaged and allows her to apply what she learns directly.
Advice for Future Dual Students
Ambition and resilience are crucial, according to Thea. It is worth applying for dual study positions because you receive an excellent education and valuable work experience.
What is a Dual Study Program?
