The Osnabrueck University of Applied Sciences has initiated a project to investigate whether and how dual study programs or even elements of it can be integrated into South African university study programs. The present part of the investigation presents the expert assessments of the demands and requirements for dual study programs and, based on a company survey, the existing level of information.
The significance of dual study programs in South Africa is still low, only a few company specific approaches exist, mostly in internationally operating companies. Nevertheless, closer cooperation and more company orientated learning is required. The willingness to participate in dual study programs was confirmed from all surveyed companies. Dual courses seems to be particularly suitable for technical disciplines, but are also suitable for some business courses.
