22.19 In a dual study programme, must every activity a student performs at the partner company be credited toward their degree?

No. That is not mandatory. Dual study programmes are characterized by a strong practical focus. It is common for students to work at partner companies on certain weekdays and/or during breaks from classes while pursuing their studies. This work is coordinated with the study programme in terms of timing, organization, and content, but is generally only partially integrated into the study programme and awarded credit points (see FAQs 22.11 and 21.12). During the accreditation process, care must be taken to ensure that the study programme remains feasible to complete even when such non-credit-bearing practical components are taken into account.
