Top marks for Zittau's students

Dresden, Leipzig, Cottbus: three dual KIA students from the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences win the title of Chamber Best.

One of the undisputed advantages of the dual KIA (sandwich-style) degree course is the opportunity to acquire a skilled worker or journeyman's certificate at the same time as studying. As the training now takes two and a half years instead of three and a half and is completed in parallel with the degree course, you can certainly see the catch.

It is therefore not to be taken for granted that our KIA students are also attracting attention here with top performances. This year, we are particularly pleased that our KIA class of 2016 scored three times and won the title of best in chamber:

Felix Hegewald is studying automation technology and mechatronics at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and learned the profession of a mechatronics technician at BASF Schwarzheide GmbH. With 93 points, he was the best in his profession in South Brandenburg.

Our KIA Jan Hartung completed his vocational training as an electrical systems fitter at Highvolt Dresden GmbH and was one of the 28 trainees in the Dresden Chamber of Industry and Commerce area to complete his skilled worker examination with the grade " very good " . He is studying for a degree in electrical power systems.

Valentin Reinhardt: The third of the best KIAs was Valentin Reinhardt. He is studying automation technology and mechatronics and was honored as the best candidate in the Leipzig region for his apprenticeship as an electronics technician specializing in energy and building services engineering at the apprenticeship ceremony in the Alte Handelsbörse in Leipzig, which was held by the Leipzig Electrical Guild.

We are delighted for the award winners and congratulate them warmly. Ultimately, this result is also proof of the very good quality of the dual study program at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences.
