## The Universitat Jaume I of Castelló pioneers the integration of dual university education system The objective is to transform the undergraduate programmes in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, along with the master's programme in Industrial Engineering, into dual degrees by the 2024-25 academic year. To achieve this, the UJI has today engaged with companies interested in collaborating on educational development and talent attraction via the dual training scheme.

* [![ formacio-dual-universitaria Jornada_Formacio_Dual_24DLL14](/com/noticies/2024/2/2q/formacio-dual-universitaria/Jornada_Formacio_Dual_24DLL14.jpg)](#)

This morning, the Universitat Jaume I and the Bertelsmann Foundation took the initial step towards the dualisation of two degree programmes (Chemical Engineering and Chemistry) and one master's programme (Industrial Engineering) with the first session where companies, sectors, and the UJI itself convened to explore the advantages of Dual University Education (DUE). The aim of this pilot project is for the Bertelsmann Foundation to support the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló in the dualisation of these university studies. This process will be instrumental in practically understanding all the necessary stages in the dualisation of university education, the challenges faced by the university, or the interest from companies, among others.

The main challenges discussed this morning, which are generic to the development strategy of dualising university studies, are based on ensuring companies better understand what DUE entails; acquainting them with the difference between this type of education and internships at companies; making faculty aware of its benefits; and, finally, ensuring both companies and faculty understand the specific steps on how to dualise university education.

The decision to start the pilot test with the degrees in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and the master's degree in Industrial Engineering is because the chemical industry and industrial engineering are two strategic economic and knowledge areas in the province of Castellón, hosting major companies like Porcelanosa, Torrecid or FACSA, among many others.

This pilot project is part of the strategy followed by the Bertelsmann Foundation to apply to university studies all the knowledge gained in the field of dual Vocational Training over the last ten years. Indeed, the Bertelsmann Foundation and the Conference of Social Councils of Spanish Universities, an entity that encompasses the Social Councils of all public universities and the councils and boards of private universities, have recently signed an agreement to promote Dual University Education, a type of teaching in which students spend part of their education at the university and another part in a company. This collaboration comes at a time when Spanish universities are showing increasing interest in dual education. The pilot project between the Bertelsmann Foundation and the UJI is a clear example of this interest.
