Amman- 3 April 2019
On Tuesday 26th of March an information session about the major impacts of cooperative educational concepts on curriculum design took place at the German Jordanian University (GJU). Deans and representatives of the Schools for Applied Technical and Medical Sciences and the School for Management and Logistic Sciences joined the workshop facilitated by the Dual Studies Advisor Stefan Braun.
After a short introduction into the established structure for the Dual Study Tracks and the needful requirements on companies, Prof. Dr. Edda Pulst from the Westphaelische Hochschule Gelsenkirchen made a dynamic impulse presentation about the experiences she made within the last years with Dual Studies in Germany. She stressed out that the relationship between companies and universities as well as between companies and students are the keys for successful Dual Studies.
The exchange of ideas between companies and academia leads to innovation and the monitoring and coaching of the students in the companies ends up in sustainable partnerships for all involved parties.
Finally, an open discussion on the challenges and chances of Dual Studies for the Schools and Department of GJU closes the event. Directly after the workshop the attending representatives of all schools expressed their interest to implement the Dual Studies.
We welcome our possible new partners and looking forward to manage to implementation process of Dual Studies at GJU together.
