STEP BY STEP THROUGH THE COMBINED STUDY PROGRAM
In your first year, you’ll build the foundation: learning metalworking basics, completing your pre-study internship, and gaining initial experience in BENTELER’s plants. You’ll also support projects such as the Open House Day to get a first impression of daily life in the company.

Your third year includes an international assignment – a great opportunity to gain international experience. You’ll also complete your Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) exam as an Industrial Mechanic and lead your first plant tours.
In your fourth year, you’ll meet managers at regular networking events, actively plan your plant assignments, and write your bachelor’s thesis.
In your fifth year, you’ll deepen your knowledge in various practical phases, complete your academic project, and optionally study a semester abroad.
In your sixth year, you’ll work in potential target departments, contribute your expertise to demanding projects, and complete the program with your master’s thesis – the perfect start to your career at BENTELER.
