FAQs

How long does the dual study program last and which university does SIXT cooperate with?
The program lasts 6 semesters and is run in cooperation with DHBW Stuttgart. You alternate between theory phases at the university and practical phases at SIXT, allowing you to apply your knowledge directly in the company.

Which departments or areas will I go through during your practical phases?
Your rotations depend on your degree program and focus area. You will complete both mandatory and elective assignments, giving you the chance to experience different teams and departments.

Where will I be working?
Your main workplace will be our headquarters in Pullach, near Munich.

Do I need internships or work experience to apply?
The only specific requirement is your grades. Practical experience - for example, from internships, a part-time job, or customer-facing roles - is a plus, but not a requirement.

When does the dual study program start, and when is the application deadline?
The dual study program begins on September 1 each year. Applications are accepted until July 31, however, we recommend that you apply as early as possible, since many spots are filled before the official application deadline.

Will I have dedicated contacts during the program?
Yes, you will have two dedicated contacts: one for all topics around your dual study program and the exchange with DHBW, and another for professional support in your respective team.

Will I receive regular feedback?
Yes, feedback is important to us! You will receive feedback during and at the end of each practical phase to help you grow and develop.

How can I connect with other students?
Networking with other students is very important to us. During Welcome Days, networking events, and training sessions, you will meet your fellow students – also from other study programs.

Are there opportunities for a full-time position after graduation?
Yes, that is our goal! We want to retain our dual students after graduation in suitable positions and will plan your career start at SIXT with you early on.

What international opportunities will I have?
In addition to excellent chances of being taken on after graduation, SIXT also offers international perspectives. Depending on your degree program, you can spend a semester abroad or complete a practical phase at one of our worldwide locations.

Will I receive a salary during the program?
Yes, you will receive an above-average monthly salary, giving you financial flexibility.

Does SIXT cover my tuition?
You are responsible for your own enrollment fees. SIXT does not cover tuition, so be sure to factor that into your decision.

How flexible are the working hours during the practical phases?
You will have a 40-hour week with trust-based working hours. This means you can arrange your schedule flexibly in consultation with your department.

Does SIXT provide support in finding accommodation?
Since your practical training takes place in Pullach near Munich and your theoretical coursework at the DHBW in Stuttgart, you may end up with two places of residence during your studies. SIXT does not offer active assistance with finding housing, you should keep this in mind when planning. However, if you do end up maintaining two places of residence at the same time, you’ll receive a monthly allowance of €500 for as long as this situation persists.
