THWS participates in the "hochschule dual" initiative and offers cooperative programmes as well as programmes with in-depth professional practice. Students in the respective degree programmes will benefit from a larger share of practical training, financial remuneration and advantages when starting out on their professional careers.

"hochschule dual" is an initiative by Hochschule Bayern e.V., an association of Universities of Applied Sciences in Bavaria. The initiative was founded in June 2006 with support of the Bavarian State Ministry of Education, Science and the Arts.
