CAREER AT VERTICAS: DUAL STUY PROGRAM

At Verticas, we are excited to offer insights into our Dual Study Program. Recently, we spoke with Thea, a colleague from the Graphic & Design department, about her decision to pursue a dual study program and her expectations. We'd like to share her responses with you.​

Why choose a Dual Study Program?

Thea explains that after completing her training as a media designer, she was eager to continue learning without losing the practical aspect. A dual study program seemed like the perfect blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on application.​

Challenges of the Dual Study Program

Thea identifies balancing studies, learning, and work as the biggest challenge. However, she remains optimistic and looks forward to this new endeavor, believing it's manageable.

Benefits of Combining Theory and Practice

Thea aims to broaden her horizons while gaining practical experience through real projects. She feels a full-time theoretical program would be too abstract, and the mix of theory and practice keeps things varied, allowing her to apply what she learns directly.​

Advice for Future Dual Students

Determination and resilience are key, according to Thea. She encourages applying for dual study positions, highlighting the excellent training and valuable work experience they offer.​
