Dual curriculum & scholarship
Study or apprenticeship?
Why not both?
The dual curriculum is particularly on trend. If you decide for this vocational career, you will get the best from both worlds: the practical work in a company, and the theory at a college or university. A real plus: You will earn your own money right from the start.
In the State of Lower Saxony, you will complete the practical phases in the State Administration, and you will enjoy a civil servant status right from the start. After the study there are best opportunities for an employment with the State. The colleagues are already waiting for young professionals like you!
Another possibility to start your career with the State Administration is the study with scholarship. But you don’t have to be highly talented, and you needn’t have completed your school with best grades. In this model, only somewhat other framework conditions will apply. After you’ve finished your studies, you will oblige yourself to work with the State of Lower Saxony for at least five years if you want to, even longer. The advantage: In most cases you will be a civil servant directly after you have completed your studies, and you do not need to look for a new job.
With an amount of 900 to 1,400 Euro per month - according to the selected job - the scholarship will cover your basic needs, so you can completely concentrate on your studies, and you don’t need to have a second job. Pure luxury, isn’t it?
- you already gain practical experience during your studies, i.e. you know exactly what to expect from your job later on.
- you can directly apply theoretical knowledge in practice.
- you already get to know your future colleagues during your studies.
- The State of Lower Saxony offers you best chances of a permanent position after you have finished your apprenticeship.
- Your practical periods will be planned and organized for you, so you will have more time for the important things.
- you immerse in different areas of the State Administration, and you will soon know which job your heart is beating for.
- you can concentrate on your studies without financial difficulties, because you are financially secured.
