Overview
In HSBA's dual model the partner company generally pays most or all of the monthly course fees (EUR 790 per month) - typically around EUR 640 of it - while the student's share is roughly EUR 150 per month in a sample calculation. On top students receive traineeship remuneration from the company during practical phases (about EUR 1,000 per month in year one per HSBA sample calculation), so dual students finance their studies through employment rather than a classical scholarship.
