"I opted for a dual study program at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences because I am convinced that this program offers the best foundation for achieving my professional goals. At the university, we are offered a good mix of independent work and individual support thanks to small learning groups and numerous project assignments. Not only the linking of the theoretical contents of the studies with the practical experiences in the company as well as the training as an industrial clerk, but also the international impressions and experiences that we are allowed to gather during the studies through numerous guest professors and our internship abroad, prepare us excellently for the coming professional life."
Charlotte Begon, JT International Germany GmbH, IBA 17

The dual study program "International Business Administration - Internationale Betriebswirtschaftslehre" offers students two major advantages, namely with regard to their professional career as well as their personality. On the one hand, by combining exciting practical phases with theory phases at the university, you can find out whether you enjoy the lecture content in practice and which subject area you would like to specialize in later in your career or, if applicable, in a subsequent master's degree program. With the completion of the Bachelor of Science degree, students can demonstrate practical work experience from seven practical phases, including one abroad, and face professional life with confidence. On the other hand, students have great opportunities for personal development. Through the exchange with international colleagues, fellow students and (guest) professors, the personal wealth of experience is enriched by many views, backgrounds and thought-provoking impulses. Furthermore, in three years you learn a lot about your strengths and weaknesses and at the same time you can find out in small learning groups or diverse work teams how to exploit your personal potential even better. If you enjoy working in an individual environment, can combine enthusiasm with a dose of discipline, and are interested in other languages and cultures, the IBA program is the right choice for you.
Tino Jung, BASF SE, IBA 17

The dual study program International Business Administration (IBA) provides an optimal entry into professional life and teaches the basic handling of international business contexts in order to be able to operate successfully in the environment of the increasingly strong networking of the economy. The lectures in relatively small groups and the direct supervision by the professors are optimal for me. The high practical relevance of the course content enables me to apply what I have learned directly in the practical phases in the company. The strong international orientation of the course is reflected in guest lecturers from all over the world (lectures partly in English), Spanish classes and the obligatory stay abroad at a group company of the partner company.
Lucas Wippert, BASF SE, IBA 17

For me, the IBA program offers a challenging combination of theoretical fundamentals and direct practical application in the company. You are confronted with current topics that are developed using the most modern methods, such as design thinking. Small working groups allow for good cohesion among the students, as well as close cooperation with the professors. I particularly like the international orientation of the program, which offers insights into diverse cultures and perspectives. This is reinforced by the four-month stay abroad, which is an excellent opportunity that the partner companies offer their dual students. This means that you are equipped for the future not only with an international network, but also with practical knowledge and strong stamina!
Luca Schnabel, BASF SE, IBA 17

With the study, we take another step into a globalized, complex and highly volatile world that presents us with a wealth of challenges and opportunities. In order to successfully seize these opportunities, it is important to have the appropriate tools at hand, which are often associated with the "four C's": Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration - these will be decisive key qualifications in the future, which are impressively taught to us in our IBA studies. In combination with a solid scientific foundation, this forms the important part of the theoretical studies. The special experience of practical reality in the different areas of operation of the partner company helps to break up the nevertheless often dry and rigid theory and to measure it against different, but so far always positive experiences. You gain this experience in an international and varied environment that encourages you to open up your own horizons and expand your comfort zone.
Felix Heinhold, BASF SE, IBA 17

The dual IBA program at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences offers the decisive advantage for me of gaining a real insight into the working world and structure of a major international corporation. You go through different departments in each practical phase, so that you can find out during the course of your studies which career path you would like to take. What I appreciate most about the theory phases is the practical teaching in small groups, which allows room for questions and discussions. The demands of this time-intensive course of study are manageable and you learn to optimize your time and self-management. The international focus through lectures with guest lecturers and the integrated stay abroad in the fifth semester also contribute to personal and professional development. 
Antonia Müller, BASF SE, IBA 17

The International Business Administration program offers the perfect combination of theory and practice. The lectures are very international and practice-oriented. The international factor is reinforced by the visiting professors who come to Ludwigshafen from all over the world to teach with us. What is learned can be found again and applied in the practical phases. Another advantage of the dual study program at the University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen is the pleasant study atmosphere due to the small groups, which helps to develop togetherness and team spirit very quickly. I am particularly looking forward to my stay abroad in the fourth semester, which I will spend in Paris. I would like to use this stay to gain experience in an international business environment and to get to know another country.
Pascal Kettner, EM-Technik GmbH, IBA 17

For me, the dual study program IBAIT at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences is characterized above all by the successful combination of theory and practice. In addition to basic knowledge in the areas of business administration and IT, we also gain insights into current topics, such as IT security and machine learning, which encourage us to "think outside the box". There are also opportunities for discussions and queries in the lectures. Thanks to the small classes, this contributes to a pleasant as well as challenging learning atmosphere. Since we also have joint lectures with the IBA students, cross-course exchange is also encouraged. Especially the application of the learned theory in practice at the dual partner and the semester abroad in Shanghai allow us to gain direct experience in a real and international environment.
Natalie Gahre, SAP SE, IBAIT 17

Through the study program "International Business Administration and Information Technology" I got to know two worlds: the world of business and the world of computer science. I am enthusiastic about the practical phases in the company! During my assignments so far, I have always been able to make a passionate contribution to the success of the team. In the process, I have received constructive feedback for my further development. The subsequent theory phases at the university have helped me to deepen the knowledge I have acquired so far. I'm also really looking forward to the semester abroad in Shanghai. The study program brings together many wonderful experiences and many interesting people. It offers enormous potential for learning and growing from small and big challenges, both in my professional and private life.
Roman Trott, BASF SE, IBAIT 17

In my opinion, what makes the dual study program IBAIT at the University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen so special is, on the one hand, the practical knowledge that is emphasized in the lectures. On the other hand, the small group size (about thirty in our case) of the study program ensures an intimate learning atmosphere during the lectures, in which for this reason almost every question can be answered. In addition, there is the guaranteed semester abroad in Shanghai, which can absolutely be considered one of the highlights of our dual study program. To sum it up, the BIP courses at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences offer a unique educational opportunity that at the same time provides a student with a refreshingly wide range of options to choose from.
Felix Hackenbruch, SAP SE, IBAIT 18

"For me, the dual study program IBAIT is characterized not only by the combination of theory and practice, but also by the relatively small number of students, which makes it possible to grow together into a familiar group. From the company side, this is supported by integration trips, joint workshops and seminars, from the university side by projects in, for example, statistics or current topics in IT. Especially the cooperation in the programming project "The future of the professions" has shown me: An unforgettable experience and enrichment will certainly be the upcoming time together in Shanghai!"
Julia Ngo, BASF Business Services, IBAIT 17

As an IBAIT student, I see the term "Generation Internship" from a different perspective.  Since I can choose from six "internships" in different areas at my company and will also be writing my bachelor's thesis there, the term is by no means negative for me as an IBAIT student. I'm glad about that, because it's precisely through the practical phases I mentioned that the buzzword "practical relevance" is noticeably filled with life. Contents such as those from the lectures "Programming 1 & 2" and "Databases" can be applied in any programming department. In addition, the training courses on the company side, which are anchored in the IBAIT curriculum, ensure that new trends in IT can be addressed flexibly. What I particularly like about HWG-LU is, on the one hand, the top framework conditions due to small courses, short (communication) paths as well as freshly renovated premises. On the other hand, I really enjoy the mixed environment of the two BIP courses and the different companies. Last but not least: the "soft skills": In many lectures, group work and presentations are an integral part, which sometimes even replace exams.
Hannes Baum, SAP SE, IBAIT 17

"The IBA study program offers a high level of practical relevance, so that you feel optimally prepared for your professional future. International guest professors and the obligatory practical phase abroad broaden the horizon and prepare anticipation for possible further international projects in the future. In addition, the small student groups enable close cooperation with the lecturers, which is certainly an advantage over usual universities." 
Jessica Orth, BASF SE, IBA 14 

The BIP program combines practical work experience with theory at the university in an excellent way. I particularly liked the international nature of the program. In addition to many international professors from all over the world, I also had the chance to spend 4 months in faraway China and gain intercultural experience.
Tim Kleinbauer, BASF SE, IBA 14 

The "IBAIT" degree program provides a future-oriented and internationally oriented education. The greatest advantage of this study program is the ability to directly apply the knowledge gained from the theoretical phases in the practical assignments. In addition, the integrated stay abroad in Shanghai offers the unique opportunity to gain new experience in a different cultural environment and to develop oneself further in the process. I also particularly like the support and close cooperation between the university and the company! 
Michael Ngo, BASF SE, IBAIT 15

My dual study program IBAIT at the University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen is the right choice for me. I like the small groups in the lectures, which enable effective learning, including discussions and queries. The professors have a practical orientation and thus convey the subject matter in a memorable way. In the first semester, the lecture Marketing with a guest professor from the USA was a highlight for me.
Nikola Braukmüller, SAP SE, IBAIT 16

The concept of the dual "International Business Administration" program at HWG-LU in cooperation with BASF SE places high demands on the dual students. At the university, students learn important business, economic and language skills from highly qualified, partly international lecturers. The technical skills can be practiced directly in a modern, dynamic global corporation. A unique feature of the program is that, in addition to the professional skills, personal skills are also promoted and developed, primarily by the partner company. The highlight and milestone in the individual development is the stay abroad in a  company of the BASF Group. After completing the Chamber of Industry and Commerce training as an industrial clerk and the Bachelor of Science degree, which is accredited with 210 ECTS credits and thus also enjoys a high international reputation, all options are open and nothing stands in the way of a successful career.
Christian Scholz, BASF SE, IBA 15

The dual study program "International Business Administration" combines a fully-fledged Bachelor's degree (B.Sc., 210 ECTS) with the IHK (Chamber of Industry and Commerce) degree in Industrial Business Administration, six internships in the partner company and a stay abroad organized by the company. The university education is supplemented by high-quality development and support measures offered by the company. The targeted development of methodological and personal skills is a decisive added value for me. The international character of the degree program is not only taken into account by the stay abroad, but also by numerous lectures held in English by guest professors from all over the world. Most of the lecturers have many years of practical experience and thus understand how to convey theoretical concepts in a practical context. After the study period of six semesters, you have significantly more theoretical qualifications and practical experience than conventional students - which future employers will appreciate!
Jan Mar, BASF SE, IBA 15

What I particularly appreciate about the BIP program at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences is the combination of the technical training during the semesters and the practical content that I am taught during the assignment phases in the company. Through the additional experience gained during the internship abroad, as well as the international influences and impressions gained through the visiting professors, I consider the program to be a good basis for achieving my professional goals in a globalized business world.
Fabian Lux, JT International Germany GmbH, IBA 2015

What I find particularly appealing about this degree program is the opportunities that are opened up to every participant in the BIP program.
Thanks to a very good technical education with many additional training opportunities and the practical application of the learned content in the company, this study program forms a good basis for later career goals.
Daniel Venus, BASF SE, IBA 2012

My studies are the perfect combination of theory in university and practical experience on the job.
Personal highlight: Studying and working in Shanghai, China!
IBA & IT creates great possibilities!
Kathrin Pallus, BASF SE, IBAIT 11

 

 

Today's world is incredibly fast-paced. The BIP program provides a solid basis for this. After graduation, you are broadly positioned and can enter a wide variety of fields. Whether controlling or HR, in Germany or abroad - everything is possible!
Susan Klingbeil, BASF SE, IBA 2011

The IBAIT program successfully combines business administration with information technology content, as well as practice and theory.
The program promises 6 varied and well-filled semesters, dedicated teaching staff and many advantages over "normal" students through cooperation with partner companies.
And where else can you get a paid semester abroad in China?
Lukas Hackelsberger, BASF SE, IBAIT 11

The manageable group size of 24 students ensures an effective learning atmosphere. What I particularly like about the IBAIT program is the opportunity to apply what I have learned at university directly in the company. The cooperation with the dual partner also makes it possible to get to know different areas of the company and thus find personal preferences for the professional future at an early stage.
Ivo Gosemann, SAP SE, IBAIT 12

In my opinion, the dual study program is an optimal entry into professional life, both directly after graduating from high school and as further training after an already completed vocational training.
Although it is partly more demanding due to the combination of studies and internships, you get an insight into real working life in addition to the theoretical knowledge. At the end, all options are open to you (working in a company or taking up a master's degree).
Positive aspects of the dual study program at the University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen are the internationality of the lecturers, the integrated stay abroad and the good community within the BIP students.
Andreas Frank, BASF SE, IBA 2012

The BIP program at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences offers everything you can expect if you consciously choose a dual study program. I particularly like the international character of the program, which is lived out in both the theoretical and practical phases. Professors from abroad, lectures in English and the mandatory internship abroad are only a small part of the many benefits. The Bachelor of Science degree, now accredited with 210 ECTS credits, is highly regarded internationally and makes it possible for BIPs to be at home all over the world even after the Bachelor. I would choose the dual study program in cooperation with the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences and BASF SE again at any time, as it gives me numerous opportunities and has opened many doors.
Sven Anders, BASF SE, IBA 11

As the name "International Business Administration" suggests, internationality is one of the most important aspects of the program.
In addition to the 4.5-month stay abroad, you gain experience in the respective company in contact with colleagues from different countries, as well as in the university, which organizes lectures with visiting professors from around the world.
This gives you an insight into numerous cultures from different perspectives, which is very interesting in addition to the content that is presented.
Barbara Auer, BASF SE, IBA 12
 

The internationality of the IBAIT degree program is not only evident in the English-language lectures with visiting professors from all over the world. We also often work with international colleagues during the practical phases, in which we get to know different areas of the respective company. My personal highlight so far was the semester abroad (both theory and practice) in China, I made a lot of experiences there that I won't forget for the rest of my life!
Julia Ising, SAP SE, IBAIT 11

The combination of theory and practice is what makes "IBAIT" so appealing to me. You can apply what you have learned at university directly in the partner company and gain a lot of practical experience.
Maria Stöcker, SAP SE, IBAIT 12
