A young, dynamic team with a wide range of applications in production awaits you.

• Combined studies in business informatics with training as a management assistant for digitalisation management (m/f/d)

This dual study programme combines a commercial apprenticeship with business studies and allows you to gain both practical work experience and an academic degree. You will complete a varied training programme as an industrial clerk and work in various departments (e.g. Marketing, Purchasing, Finance, Human Resources). There you will learn about processes and procedures at Merz and work on a wide variety of projects to actively support the day-to-day business. Vocational school theory is taught through in-house lessons. After 6 months of practical work, you will attend lectures in business administration at the University of Applied Sciences in Mainz on Thursdays and Saturdays. Your international competence can be enhanced by a stay abroad.

What our Young Professionals say

I've really grown with my dual studies at Merz. In every department, I got to know very kind colleagues and face new challenges. I'm glad to be so involved in the day-to-day work here and would recommend the dual study program at any time.

Dual Student Business Studies

As an employer, Merz supports us starting into the working world on many levels. We benefit from a familiar atmosphere and great employee discounts. By passing through various departments, we manage to gain a very good insight into the many facets of day-to-day business. We can provide active support and also take on our own smaller projects, which show us what it means to take on responsibility in professional life.

Trainee Industrial Clerk
At Merz since 2018

The dual study program at Merz is very versatile. On the one hand, we get to know many different departments, but also the various business areas of Merz. This gives us a broad insight into the company, which makes the decision for the first permanent department after the training so much easier.

At the time, Merz excited me by combining an apprenticeship with a degree program. You benefit from the practical experience during your studies and at the same time you can directly apply what you have learned there.

I really enjoy working at Merz because I experience appreciation, flexibility and independence during my time as an intern. The work is very diverse and structured, which is why I would recommend anyone to do an internship here.

Intern Human Resources

At Merz since 2022

After internship full of experiences at Merz Pharma, I decided to do a dual study program there. The program offers a varied and exciting opportunity to actively apply the theory I have learned in many different departments. I am very satisfied and would recommend it at any time!

Dual Student Business Studies
At Merz since 2020

I can highly recommend the 3.5-year apprenticeship at Merz in Dessau. It is varied, offers above-average pay and good chances of being taken on. From the very first day, I was immediately accepted into the team and treated like a fully-fledged employee, as I was also allowed to carry out tasks independently. If I had any questions or concerns, I could always turn to my colleagues and trainers and they always had an open ear for me. I got to know all the departments at the site and was able to gain many impressions and knowledge. I also find the cooperation with the training centre (training laboratory, training workshop) particularly positive, as you learn a lot of content there that cannot be shown in the company due to other types of production.
