On 27 August, Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences took a further step towards practical training: a cooperation agreement was signed with Soziales - Bildung - Integration GmbH to implement the practice-oriented course.

The agreement was signed by University President Prof Dr Jörg Wagner and Dr oec. habil. Lutz Koch, Managing Director of Soziales - Bildung - Integration GmbH. The aim of the cooperation is to further expand the close integration of theory and practice in the degree programme and to provide students with a sound academic education in combination with practical work experience.

"Collaboration with practice partners is a central element of our degree programme. This is the only way we can ensure that our graduates not only have sound specialist knowledge, but also the practical skills they need to start their careers," emphasised Prof. Wagner at the signing of the contract.

As part of the co-operation, young professionals are supported in their selection and training. By combining university studies and practical work, students can utilise synergy effects between theory and company practice and thus find an optimal start to their professional careers.
