22.14 In the context of dual study programmes, what does “systematic organizational integration of learning environments” mean?

“Systematic organizational integration” means that academic studies and practical work are coordinated not only in terms of content but also in terms of timing and organization. Furthermore, there must be organizational interfaces between higher education institutions and industry partners that enable regular coordination. The accreditation does not specify the nature or scope of such organizational interfaces. At a minimum, specific contact persons for the dual study program should be designated by both the higher education institution and the company.
