There are no regular lectures on Mondays and Fridays. This leaves sufficient time to gain practical experience, for example through part-time jobs, working student positions, or internships. In our region, numerous innovative industrial companies offer excellent opportunities to gain exactly this kind of hands-on experience.

The internship semester consists of two parts: the practical phase in a company and the internship seminar. 

During the practical phase/the internship semester the students gain practical experience in a degree-programme-related company under supervision. The internship is legally a mandatory internship. After the practical phase/the internship, students present and critically reflect on their experience during the internship seminar. 

Formal admission requirements: The formal requirement for application is a university entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulreife) or a subject-specific or general higher education entrance qualification (fachgebundene or allgemeine Hochschulreife). Professionally qualified applicants (for example, those holding a master craftsman certificate (Meisterbrief)) may also apply for admission under certain conditions.

Language requirements: Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency at a minimum level of B2 (CEFR) through appropriate certificates or other recognised proof. A German higher education entrance qualification certificate (Fachhochschulreife, fachgebundene Hochschulreife, or allgemeine Hochschulreife/Abitur) is accepted as sufficient proof of B2-level English proficiency.
