Have you always been interested in the hospitality industry?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose the dual study program because I find business administration exciting, and it was important to me to combine theory and practice directly. This way, I can immediately apply what I\u2019m learning in a real-world setting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the hospitality industry, I\u2019ve always been passionate about travel and everything that comes with it. What really drew me in were the variety of tasks, working with people from different cultures, and the international exchange. MEININGER Hotels is the perfect place for me because it\u2019s a dynamic, growing company. Here, I can not only learn a lot but also actively contribute to the brand\u2019s development.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Can you briefly describe the application process and the structure of your dual study program?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The application process was pretty simple for me since I was already working as a receptionist at MEININGER. I talked to my manager about possible opportunities, and that\u2019s how the idea came up. After a few more discussions with my manager and the regional manager, I was offered the spot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dual study program alternates between theory and practice every three months. It lasts three years, and there\u2019s plenty of flexibility in choosing which departments you\u2019d like to gain experience in.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Which departments at MEININGER Hotels have you worked in, and which projects were particularly helpful for your studies?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I started my training in hotel operations (reception, housekeeping, and service). After that, I moved to headquarters, where I gained experience in several departments, including customer care, finance (accounting and controlling), revenue, sales, marketing, facility management, HR, and procurement. Rotating through so many areas was really valuable\u2014it helped me apply what I was learning at university directly to real-world situations. This made it easier to understand and remember the concepts, while also giving me insight into how things work in the \u201creal\u201d business world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One project I found especially interesting was a transfer report where I conducted a market analysis for a new MEININGER hotel opening. It turned out to be incredibly useful for the next semester!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BLOG-MEININGER-interviews-Tim_1024x683-02.png\" alt=\"Tim and Johannes, MEININGER Hotels former dual students, at the company booth at ITB 2024\" class=\"wp-image-38516 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BLOG-MEININGER-interviews-Tim_1024x683-02.png 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BLOG-MEININGER-interviews-Tim_1024x683-02-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BLOG-MEININGER-interviews-Tim_1024x683-02-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BLOG-MEININGER-interviews-Tim_1024x683-02-600x400.png 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BLOG-MEININGER-interviews-Tim_1024x683-02.png\" alt=\"Tim and Johannes, MEININGER Hotels former dual students, at the company booth at ITB 2024\" class=\"wp-image-38516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BLOG-MEININGER-interviews-Tim_1024x683-02.png 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BLOG-MEININGER-interviews-Tim_1024x683-02-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BLOG-MEININGER-interviews-Tim_1024x683-02-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/BLOG-MEININGER-interviews-Tim_1024x683-02-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tim and Johannes, during their time as dual students, proudly represented MEININGER Hotels at ITB 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>How does what you learn at university help you in your daily work at MEININGER Hotels?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it\u2019s a business administration program focused on tourism, I\u2019ve learned a lot of general business principles that are really useful in departments like HR and procurement.

Over the next few years, I want to grow both professionally and personally, aiming to take on a leadership role with more responsibility in about five years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-term, I\u2019d like to move beyond operational decisions and contribute strategically to the company\u2019s development.
