These programmes’ main characteristic and greatest challenge is their integration of academic and vocational learning. So far, this challenge has frequently been stated without specifying its exact nature and consequences for learners. The present study addresses this pedagogical research gap and examines the extent of variation in the degree of integration among dual study programmes. With reference to curriculum theory, the study develops an empirical typology of curricular integration in dual programmes. The data sample consists of 152 programmes at (dual) universities and universities of applied sciences. Data is analysed using hierarchical cluster analysis. Results indicate that the currently prevailing forms of curricular integration should best be differentiated according to five types. The five overlapping types of integration are located on a continuum ranging from parallelism through organisational linking to full curricular integration targeted immediately at students’ personal integration. The analysis confirms that there are problems with complying with integration standards set on the policy level. Above all, the study offers new insights on what marks the diverse integration landscape of dual study programmes. It proves that approaches to integration are more differentiated than previous research has shown.","lang":"eng"}],"intvolume":"        85","issue":"6","date_updated":"2024-03-21T15:06:51Z","citation":{"chicago":"Mordhorst, Lisa, and Tobias Jenert. “Curricular Integration of Academic and Vocational Education: A Theory-Based Empirical Typology of Dual Study Programmes in Germany.” <i>Higher Education</i> 85, no. 6 (2022): 1257–79. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10734-022-00889-7\">https://doi.org/10.1007/s10734-022-00889-7</a>.","mla":"Mordhorst, Lisa, and Tobias Jenert. “Curricular Integration of Academic and Vocational Education: A Theory-Based Empirical Typology of Dual Study Programmes in Germany.” <i>Higher Education</i>, vol. 85, no. 6, Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022, pp. 1257–79, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10734-022-00889-7\">10.1007/s10734-022-00889-7</a>.","short":"L.
