»Dual Studies from a Labour Law Perspective. Dual Track Students in the Area of Tension between Labour Law and Higher Education Law«: The author examines the labour law dimension of dual studies, a hybrid format with its systematic interlinking of theory and practice, which is subdivided into different types. He comes to the conclusion that the Vocational Training Act (BBiG) is an appropriate regulation for the legal containment of the practical phases of dual study programmes. The existing individual and collective labour law system provides sufficient protection for dual track students in the company.
