Vision
Through our international knowledge alliance, we want to be a global player in the world of Higher Education. InduTwin aims at becoming a blueprint for dual education that feeds on a synergy of real work experience and theoretical knowledge.
We see InduTwin as a borderless virtual and real-life collaboration through which we live our values of respect, inclusion, openness, transparency, and responsibility.
We want to build the bridges that close the gaps between native digital and non-digital generations while transforming the lives of students and academics through the international, intercultural and interdisciplinary InduTwin Experience.

InduTwin Bachelor Program
Twin to Twin
Integration of our Bachelor Twin Programs at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts and at our partner universities in China, North America and South America.
Integration
It requires the harmonization and practical orientation of the curricula and acquired competencies in the first four semesters, which also leads to joint e-learning module catalogs, and fosters mobility and training of teachers and academic staff.


Knowledge Exchange
Industry teachers and guests teach primarily (in English) in block formats and virtual cross border projects conducted in mixed teams of students from different disciplines and universities.

Dual Education and practical training with our Industry Partners
Annual summer schools in Dortmund or spring and winter schools at our partners universities in Latin America and China, stimulate the interest in international exchange. These may lead students to an exchange of 1 to 3 semesters, practical training along with a thesis work at a company, and a double degree.
