At THWS, studying is not just theory, but an experience that involves a lot of hands-on experience, even in online degree programmes. And that's a good thing, because companies don't need theorists, they need doers with a hands-on mentality!

Interactive learning formats and group projects promote collaboration and exchange between students so that practical knowledge can be applied directly. Practical projects complement the study concept perfectly and prepare you optimally for the challenges of the professional world. During the practical semester, you will gain valuable experience in real work situations and make important contacts in the world of work. This makes your degree programme the ideal preparation for a successful career.
