Actually, it is intended that you stay with one company for the whole duration of studies. If any problems between you and your company arise or if you do not want or cannot work there any more for other reasons, our Office of Student Affairs and the chancellor of hwtk University will be available for a personal consultation. You can then discuss problems and jointly look for solutions. Quitting should only be the last step if all other possibilities are exhausted. Basically, you can switch to another company during your studies. In this case, you should find a new company on your own within 4 – 6 weeks. You should not be without a company any longer because otherwise you would lose your status as a dual student. If you do not find a new company, you can switch to a full-time or distance learning programme at the beginning of the next semester. Thus, the duration of your studies at hwtk University would not be prolonged.

The companies listed on our homepage have charged hwtk University with the pre-selection of applicants (unless it is explicitly stated that direct applications are welcome). Most of our partner companies are interested in first semester students who will join the company at the beginning of the next or the semester after. Dual students who are already studying can be placed in a company by the hwtk only in exceptional cases if a company is explicitly looking for advanced students. So you have the main responsibility for finding a new partner company. For any questions, do not hesitate to contact our Office of Student Affairs.
