Objective

The goal of the study unit is to develop and deepen the student's expertise in predefined areas of expertise with the help of various small-scale assignments. During the study unit, the student gets to know the technology and method presented to him or, if necessary, can also act as a peer instructor. The competences selected for development are actively applied during the assignment, thereby strengthening the student's expertise as suitable for meeting the special requirements of an internship or working life. Areas of competence to be developed can be examples of: management, teamwork, problem-solving skills, as well as technology and method expertise. The development goals are agreed together with the supervisor before the study period.
