Course content
This course is designed to prepare students for real-world problems by engaging them in group projects that tackle practice-relevant tasks. These tasks are preferably based on commissions from business partners or public institutions or involve field experiences under the guidance of the course instructor.
Students will apply their previously acquired knowledge, integrate their observations and experiences within the context of the practical project, deepen their subject-specific competencies, and strengthen complementary skills such as social competence, risk management, budgeting competence, and economically responsible decision-making. Students receive project briefs from the course instructor or external partners (e.g., associations or companies) and independently plan, coordinate, budget, monitor, evaluate, and report on the projects. The course instructor provides guidance and project coaching as needed.
