The DHBW Heilbronn is part of The Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg (DHBW), Baden- Wuerttemberg Corporate State University, which is the largest university system in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg with more than 34.000 enrolled students at 9 different locations. Each campus functions as a separate entity, specializing in different degree courses, which reflect regional economic development and ties to local industry. A dual study program is unique as it combines university studies with practical experience in a company. Therefore, students alternate between academic studies at the university and work-place training at their chosen company for the duration of their 3-year-degree program. The DHBW Heilbronn is located in the city of Heilbronn, surrounded by vineyards; it lies in the heart of the Heilbronn-Franken region, an area well known not only for its world market leaders but also as a hub of innovative small and medium sized companies.
