Students at the Technical University of Dortmund (TU Dortmund) have had the opportunity to match their academic studies more closely to the world of business since 2002. TU Dortmund’s partnership with ThyssenKrupp opens up a number of avenues for students to combine theory with practice – and visit the company to get to know it. The aim of the partnership between ThyssenKrupp and the TU Dortmund is to make what we call “knowledge transfer” tangible. Through the partnership, engineering and economics students will benefit from the wealth of knowledge available in the company and gain insights into the technological and commercial challenges within an international company.
- Activities
The ThyssenKrupp Award for Excellence
ThyssenKrupp works together with the TU Dortmund faculty for economics and social sciences with whom it bestows the ThyssenKrupp Award for Excellence for outstanding theses. The award of 2,500 euros is made once a year and is sometimes given to more than one student. All students of the economics and social sciences faculty at the TU Dortmund are eligible for the award, as long as they will complete their studies within the allotted time. Theses under consideration for the award should be submitted to the student’s supervisor/professor.
do-camp-ing
This student camp is an exciting opportunity for high school students to start thinking early about college studies. The first camp was so successful that this somewhat unconventional approach to building bridges to students will be continued.
Seminars on job interviews – the practicalities of applying for a job
This is a series of events organized by the Dortmund college team in cooperation with the VDI and VDE as well as the following German companies, Deutsche Bahn, Dortmunder Stadtwerke, RWE Systems, ThyssenKrupp, Siemens VDO and Kirchhoff Automotive. At the events, which are staged just before the students are scheduled to finish their degree, personnel managers from leading German companies in the region give students useful tips and answer question on the process of applying for a job. Also, the students get to know potential employers and can gain from their experience.- Events
