Study at a Professional Academy

Every year for the winter semester, GLOBALFOUNDRIES offers the opportunity to complete a dual studies course in many branches of study.

Such a study course runs for 6 semesters and is divided into alternating theoretical and practical elements. In the 6th semester, during the practical phase, you write a bachelor’s thesis to complete your studies as a Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Arts.

We regularly offer the following branches of study:

  • Service Engineeringat BA Leipzig
  • Electrical Engineering at BA Bautzen
  • Environmental Engineering at BA Riesa*
  • Information Technology at BA Dresden
  • Business Administration – Industry at BA Dresden

*This branch of study is only advertised upon sufficient demand.

Prerequisites

Prerequisite for applying for a BA study course at GLOBALFOUNDRIES is the general or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification with very good to excellent results. Good knowledge of English is also a prerequisite.

Given the alternating theoretical and practical elements, a BA study course at GLOBALFOUNDRIES furthermore requires great organizational skill, since each practical element must be accompanied by concurrent preparation for exams or writing of research papers.

  5. In the 6th and final semester, you will write a bachelor’s thesis with which you will later complete your studies.
