Information technology dual study programme (PiBS)

Theory and practice perfectly combined

The dual study programme allows you to enter the world of IT at PostFinance directly after high school (Gymnasium) – without forgoing university. This form of training gives you the opportunity to combine theory and practice.

Practical work and undergraduate studies combined

In the dual study programme (Bachelor’s degree with integrated practical training, known as PiBS), you earn your degree at the Swiss Distance University of Applied Sciences while also working at PostFinance. How does it work? You study at the Swiss Distance University of Applied Sciences in Berne two or three days a week. The rest of the week, you work and learn with us. Over the course of the four-year training period, you also have the opportunity to complete work placements at Swiss Post.
