Such nonsense, a degree course should be free like any other vocational training and open to everyone! Additional costs only create another obstacle.

Universities fulfill not only an educational but also an important research mission from which especially the economy benefits the most. Our education system as it is, is the reason for this country's economic strength.

I would also like to point out that the dual universities (DHBW) are public universities. The costs incurred for dual students are therefore borne by taxpayers just like at all other public universities.

Many students at university have to support themselves because their parents do not have enough financial means. If you are not a dual student, this usually means a lot of work alongside studying (for example, I always had to work 20 hours a week in order to finance everything). Added to this are lectures, etc., as well as very stressful exam periods.

The dual student is, of course, fully paid and excused from work during lecture periods. My flatmates who studied dual were practically in permanent party mode during the lecture period. So if the lazy student often portrayed actually exists, then he studies dual.

Rarely have I read such nonsense. The dual student sits at university from morning till evening since logically only half of the year is available for lecture materials. The only ones in permanent party mode were the regular students. I could well relate to that myself. The semester abroad at the regular university was indeed pure party interrupted by lectures.

Also total nonsense. Please add: "Regular students whose upkeep was paid for by their parents." When I studied, I worked more than those in dual studies and did a full-time course of study on the side.

Please do not fall into clichés: Dual studies are also available in the evenings alongside a full 40-hour week.

What is true, however, is that education must be free wherever possible. And the basic research at universities would never be affordable for companies: investing 10 years with an uncertain outcome? No way. They jump in once the biggest uncertainties are overcome and benefit massively. By the way, they also benefit from the skilled workers trained there.

An educational gap like in the USA cannot be desirable, just because you might then be able to get a CalTech in Germany.

That simply isn’t true. There is such a thing as lecture period and lecture-free period. The dual university is almost synchronized with the lecture periods of regular universities; accordingly, the practical phases of DH students take place during the lecture-free time of regular students. However, it is the case that the regular student (who cannot be financed by their parents) works full-time during this phase to compensate for the low income during the semester (as in my case and many fellow students).

I don’t want to start a dispute about types of study here either. Everything has its justification as well as advantages and disadvantages.

The fact is that it was previously claimed that DH students are financed by the employer and not by the taxpayer. Which was simply wrong.

The normal student can, and from my experience (10 years ago) also did, work up to 20 hours per week during the lecture period.
