Cooperative State University Schleswig-Holstein (Duale Hochschule Schleswig-Holstein, DHSH) is a state-recognised university of applied sciences that focuses on dual study programmes. It is supported by the Wirtschaftsakademie Schleswig-Holstein and offers practice-oriented Bachelor’s degrees, where academic phases are combined with paid work placements at partner organisations. Study locations include Kiel, Lübeck and Flensburg, and the programme structure is designed for students who want strong practical experience alongside a formal degree. Because it operates as a specialised dual/university-of-applied-sciences model, student-facing information often depends on the partner-company pathway.
