The dual study model is credited with the potential to play an important part in competence development for 21st-century occupations. So far dual study programmes have been a largely German phenomenon. Currently, however, this higher education model is attracting growing interest from foreign education and training stakeholders who are specifically seeking models to improve linkages between academic learning and vocational practice-based learning. Country studies of France and Brazil analyse the general conditions for successful transfer of this study model and the possibilities for binational cooperation.
