Onboarding for the cooperative study program
When you start your studies at MAHLE, it’s time to pack your bags and go on to the introduction week. Our students and their trainers will enjoy five days of teamwork and social networking. Of course, there is also information for the start of dual studies.
Here are a few impressions of the warm-up@MAHLE:
Your application
Attention: the application period starts in May one year before the start of the training in September.
The dual study program begins in September each year and lasts for three years. However, most of our places are usually already occupied 9 months before the start of your studies, so it’s worth being fast!
That’s what you bring
The prerequisite for dual studies is a general university entrance qualification (Abitur) or subject-related university entrance qualification (Fachabitur) with a focus that is appropriate to the study. You can find the required areas of specialization in the individual descriptions of the degree programmes.
Your online application
Please send us your application online via our MAHLE application portal.
If you cannot decide between two courses, up to two applications are possible at the same time. Provided that they are similar occupations.
Documents
Please send us the following documents:
- A cover letter in which you tell us something about yourself and explain why you would like to start a dual study program
- A resume in tabular form, where you also briefly tell us what interests you in your free time
- A copy of the last three certificates in succession
- Evidence of practical training or further education (for example, language or computer courses)
Our selection process
Once we receive your application, you will receive a confirmation email. If your application is convincing, we will send you a recruitment test. If you perform well, we will invite you to an assessement center, which includes group exercises, a creative self-presentation and a personal interview. If you are a good fit for our team, you could soon be signing your contract.
