Dual Program
Mondragon Unibertsitatea is a practical university, immersed in the business world and providing students with different learning experiences in business environments (dual training, work-study alternation, and final degree/master's projects).
We have a large network of partner companies that integrate the dual training experiences of students as a strategy to attract and retain young talent. These companies also make it easier for students to integrate their final degree/master's project into the larger research and transfer projects they carry out together with Mondragon Unibertsitatea .
All of these training experiences in business environments last between 10 months and 3 years depending on the modality and come with a financial aid grant.
