German DUAL Methodology

Academic Theory and Hospital Practice Going Hand in Hand

Inspired by the German dual system, the Higher Education Program combines two learning environments: SCOLLA College, which provides the academic foundation, and the partner hospital, where students engage in supervised professional practice.

In-person activities will take place at partner hospitals, exposing students to the realities of hospital management through practical experiences in real-world learning environments, inspired by the German dual system.

Two learning environments

Students alternate between theoretical coursework through distance learning and supervised clinical experience in a hospital setting.

70% practical, 30% theoretical

The DUAL approach values real-world work experience without neglecting the academic foundation.

Mentoring at the hospital

A clinical and administrative mentor monitors the student's practice and coordinates the student's progress with the academic advisor.

Real-world problem-based projects

Each cycle links disciplines to assessments, improvements, and indicators within the hospital ecosystem.

Sector-based job rotation

Billing, supplies, OPME, operating room, hospitality, quality, accreditation, and patient care.

Tripartite Agreement

Students, hospitals, and colleges share responsibility for learning, clinical practice, and follow-up.

Learning management within the context in which it takes place

The DUAL model exposes students to the routines, workflows, and decision-making processes of the hospital, transforming theory into a critical analysis of hospital operations.

  • Experience guided by mentors and teachers
  • Projects related to real-world management problems
  • Academic portfolio with evidence of learning
The integrative course is at the heart of the DUAL model It connects academic content to real-world hospital challenges, featuring an assessment portfolio, mentoring, and a gradual transition between distance learning and in-person practice.

How Distance Learning Works

True distance learning: flexible, connected, and supervised

Scolla's distance learning program combines asynchronous classes, live sessions, and forums with instructors. Each semester, the emphasis on hospital-based learning increases until students reach the stage of professional immersion.

01 / Asynchronous Distance Learning — 38%

In its own time, with depth

Learning paths that you can access whenever and wherever you want, while maintaining your study pace.

  • Video lessons available on the academic platform and course materials by subject
  • Case studies, quizzes, and practice tests
  • Forums with teachers and hands-on activities
02 / SYNCHRONOUS DISTANCE LEARNING — 20%

In-person get-togethers with the group

Real-time classes for collaborative discussions, mentoring, and curriculum integration.

  • 1 session of 3 hours or 2 sessions of 2 hours per week
  • 18 weeks per semester
  • Case discussions, academic mentoring, and interaction with professors
03 / IN-PERSON — 40%

In-Person Learning with a Purpose

Supervised internships, community service projects, and hands-on activities in a hospital setting.

  • 400 hours of supervised internship
  • 600 hours of community service projects and hospital internships
  • 120 hours of in-person activities distributed across courses
04 / GRADUAL TRANSITION

From Distance Learning to the Hospital

The college program progresses from theoretical foundations to professional experience, with a gradual increase in hands-on practice in real-world settings.

  • Early semesters with a strong conceptual foundation
  • Outreach projects at the hospital since its inception
  • Internship and Integrative Project in the Final Cycle

Our commitment — the “hospital-based learning” model. Learning takes place within the hospital ecosystem: a distance learning program that turns participation into impact and prepares students for real-world practice, with academic quality and regulatory compliance.

Curriculum

A planned, progressive, and purpose-driven path
