The Cooperative Education IBA programme in Germany is a 180 credit, 3 year Bachelor of Business Administration, that combines periods of work with periods of study. The programme is offered from the IBA International Berufsakademie - a University of Cooperative Education - at 12 different campuses in Germany, including Freiburg. A University of Cooperative Education in Germany is similar to a "cooperative Hogeschool"  in the Netherlands, that offers dual learning programmes, known in Dutch as Duaal Opleidingen.

WUAS Students at Project WeekEmployers are closely involved in the study process and at ANGELL Akademie students spend 3 months in the workplace and 3 months in the lecture rooms, throughout the three year programme. Employers pay students an allowance throughout the year, which means that essentially they cover a student's tuition fee.

The final year top-up in Apeldoorn offers students from Freiburg a period abroad, in which they can add to their academic qualification and prepare for entry into a Master’s programme.
