Dual higher education programme at the URV: learn by working
Dual higher education is a learning model that combines academic training with professional experience in companies in the sector.
Dual higher education is an alternative educational model that promotes the acquisition and development of key knowledge, skills and competencies for professional practice. The model improves the student's employability and professional development and helps to better align the education offered by the university with the current needs of organisations.
The URV implements this model through dual programmes that are officially accredited by the Catalan Government and recorded as such on the student's official degree certificate.
The system involves three parties: the student, the university and the collaborating organisation. All three play a key role and interact in a coordinated manner to ensure the success of the training process.
