A Bachelor’s degree alongside work: Saskia Ripplinger and Sven Kreisch complete their dual study programme

Studying and working at the same time for three years – that requires stamina, organisation and a great deal of discipline: lectures, exams and assignments – whilst continuing their day-to-day work at SerNet as a matter of course. We are proud of this achievement and delighted that Saskia Ripplinger and Sven Kreisch received their Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration from the VWA and the Göttingen Vocational Academy at the Old Town Hall in Göttingen on 25 September 2026.

From marketing to in-house IT

During her studies, Saskia specialised in marketing and, at the same time, obtained her IHK qualification as an office management assistant. At SerNet, she is at home in the administration department and also works in marketing and procurement. As sustainability coordinator, she also maintains contact with the League of Sustainable Businesses. Sven specialised in business informatics and is also a qualified IT specialist in system integration. He works in our in-house IT department – a particularly exciting role in a company full of IT experts.

Dual study programme in cooperation with the VWA and the Göttingen University of Cooperative Education

SerNet is a partner company of the VWA and the Göttingen University of Cooperative Education for the Business Administration degree programme. The state-recognised academy has been offering the dual study programme since 1983. Over three years, it leads to two qualifications: a Bachelor’s degree and an IHK vocational qualification – a unique opportunity in Göttingen. The next intake is already set to begin. Devin Ullrich is currently on the dual study programme, combining theory and practice anew every day. The next place on the dual study programme, starting in 2027, has also already been filled. In addition, we train IT specialists for system integration: Janik Frese, Laetizia Braun and Maximilian Meyer are currently on board with us. Here too, the next intake for 2027 has already been confirmed.
