Leipzig is one of several cities where iba Leipzig, Germany's largest state-approved university of cooperative education, has a campus.
Germany's largest state-recognised university of cooperative education offers a split week model for training that alternates between theory and practice. Within one week, the students of iba Leipzig spend 20 hours working on their studies and another 20 hours at a company. This allows theory to be directly applied and implemented in practice. The dual degree programme offers the right conditions to prepare students for further practical duties at companies.
