The role of practice in degrees
We believe that academic education at Coburg University of Applied Sciences is not limited to the classroom, but also takes place off campus. That’s why we strive to introduce our students to the real world in a variety of ways and connect them to it. To this end, you will participate in:
• A 20-week work placement at a listed German company or a market leader in the respective industry.
The degree programme has a large database as well as excellent connections to a large number of German industrial companies,
banks & insurance companies as well as the top 3 consulting firms and Big 4 accounting firms.
• Company excursions and cultural study trips related to specific courses, which offer the opportunity to visit a number of major cities and to experience European culture and history
• An academic excursion led by staff and lecturers, during which we explore the economic, political and cultural facets of large German cities or the capitals of our neighbouring countries.
The work placements, the excursions and the study trip combine theory and practice. They are an integral part of the curriculum. We consider
these activities crucial to improving students’ networking skills and promoting their integration in Germany, while at the same time facilitating contact with future employers. Without exception, they are unforgettable experiences.
