Study model with integrated practical placement

During my apprenticeship, I was already very interested in Electrical Engineering, which is why I wanted to continue my education in this future-oriented field. I chose Esslingen University of Applied Sciences because my training company offers a study model with an integrated practical placement. Here, the practical phases are spent in the company and, in return, you receive monthly financial support throughout your studies.
