Work Experience Studies - Job Search Requirements and Assistance.
In the practical module Professional Practical Studies, both subject-related knowledge in the technologies and business organizational skills are taught. The students work on complex tasks, preferably within projects, in a supportive or independent manner. The aim is to gain a deeper insight into the role of the engineering profession.
Registration for the compulsory internship BPS is possible at the earliest when the student is authorized to enter the main study program, i.e. after achieving 100 credits. In order to have sound theoretical knowledge for an engineering internship, it is advisable to start the BPS at the end of the bachelor's program.
The internship lasts for a period of at least 14 weeks in a block with at least 450 working hours.
The search for a suitable internship should begin at least one semester (three semesters in the case of internships abroad) before the start of the BPS. A high degree of personal initiative is required. Assistance in finding suitable internship positions can be found under Job Opportunities - BPS or in a consultation with BPS Student Services.
After completion of a formal application procedure, a training contract is concluded that regulates all essential points.
