Direct entry

Exciting tasks and real projects await graduates after successfully completing their studies. This means real-life experience - right from the outset.

Dual studies

A combination of vocational training and studies. The ThyssenKrupp Group offers the opportunity to either complete studies alongside vocational training, giving you two qualifications (officially recognized occupation and academic title), or you can combine studies at a university of cooperative education with extended internships at companies and receive a qualification at the end (e.g. Bachelor).

Doctorate

Doctorates are student theses carried out by students who will gain the title of doctor if they successfully complete their course of study. As part of your doctorate, at ThyssenKrupp you have the opportunity to be named for our high-grade PhD program "Your Innovation". Share ideas with other PhD candidates in our “sciences” network along with our other experienced employees.
