Overview
The Duale Hochschule Sachsen (DHSN) is a state-run university in Saxony that offers practice-integrated dual degree programmes.
It was formed in 2025 from the former Berufsakademie Sachsen and teaches at seven study academies: Bautzen, Breitenbrunn, Dresden, Glauchau, Leipzig, Plauen and Riesa. The central administration and rectorate are in Glauchau.
Each student signs a study contract with a practice partner company. Study alternates every three months between theory phases at an academy and practice phases at the employer, over six semesters.
Programmes cover business, engineering and technology, and social and health professions, and end with a Bachelor of Arts, Science or Engineering, or a phasing-out Diplom.
No tuition fees are charged. The practice partner pays a monthly salary and social insurance contributions, and students pay only a per-semester contribution that goes to the regional student services organisation.
Admission requires a school-leaving qualification giving university entrance or a recognised equivalent, together with a study contract; places are allocated in order of application because seats are limited, with no numerus clausus.
