Surveys of our students have shown: Our graduates are perfectly equipped for the job market! Around one third of all students have already found their dream job during the graduation phase, because the employer of their choice was already found during their studies. Another third write a maximum of four applications during this time. Benefit in the area of recruiting and employer branding through contacts with the university and numerous opportunities for cooperation, such as the Deutschlandstipendium scholarship.

In addition to theoutstanding performance of our students, the high practical content of our Degree programmes and the networking of the Hochschule Niederrhein with regional and national business also contribute to this success. Companies and the university have always maintained an intensive dialogue.

As a partner of industry, The Hochschule Niederrhein continuously adapts its programmes of study to new economic developments and the needs of companies.Scientific and practical qualification takes place in our laboratories and workshops, supplemented bypractical phases, projects and theses with our business partners.

Contact us: We will be happy to advise you on cooperation opportunities and arrange contacts in the faculties.

Sponsors of the Deutschlandstipendium scholarship have the opportunity to inspire our best-performing and most determined students to join their company. These are the students who, due to their outstanding performance profile, have secured their jobs before graduation. Especially in the area of recruiting and in view of the omnipresent shortage of skilled workers, the Deutschlandstipendium scholarship is a wonderful instrument for personnel planning.

Furthermore, sponsors benefit in the area of employer branding. They position themselves as a modern, progressive employer that plans for the long term, invests in its employees, participates in government programs and cooperates with universities. An attractive employer for ABraduates and experienced specialists alike.

They establish contact with the university and the faculties. For example, at the annual scholarship award ceremony. Benefit from the exchange between business and science.

We are the pioneers and trailblazers of dual study with a tradition of over 30 years.

In addition to the classic dual programme of study in accordance with the Krefeld Model (training-integrated), further programmes of study (practice-integrated) have been introduced in recent years. The Hochschule Niederrhein offers a total of more than 15 dual degree programmes. Qualified junior staff are directly linked to the companies and already familiarised with the company work processes during their studies. Dual degree programmes are therefore an important instrument for companies to secure skilled workers for demanding target positions at an early stage - especially for small and medium-sized companies.

Companies must face the ever-increasing demands of the market and accept this challenge. Increasing competitive pressure requires new ways to secure growth. To maintain their market position, entrepreneurs are forced to expand their product range or to develop and occupy new markets with new products.
At the same time, companies are faced with the challenge of making production more economical and using new technologies to produce more cost-effectively. Qualified employees play an important role in the fast and effective use of new machines and processes.
Time is an important factor in this process, because too much hesitation or too long start-up times can mean loss of market advantages. Shorter product life cycles also mean shorter utilization times, and payback must be achieved through market share rather than price.
A successful way to achieve the desired entrepreneurial goals is to find solutions together with competent partners.

Innovation is a call for dialogue and cooperation
The Hochschule Niederrhein offers a wide range of know-how as a cooperation partner to support the innovation process in companies. A large number of professors are available to companies to help solve their problems:

• Developments that would tie up too much capacity in the companies can be given to the university as research and development projects.
• Delimited, manageable questions can be worked on as diploma theses.
• Consultations, expert opinions and continuing training are offered by professors.
• Facilities and laboratories can be used for measuring and testing purposes.

The Department of Research and Transfer is the institution of the Hochschule Niederrhein that helps companies to make use of the professors' knowledge for their business. It helps to find the right expert for open questions and mediates interdisciplinary processing for complex problems.
