Language of instructionGerman


AbstractStudents primarily work on a defined task or internship project in a professional environment within the field of Agricultural Sciences. By doing so, they apply the subject-specific, method-specific, social, and personal competencies acquired during their studies in their daily work and further develop and deepen them. Additionally, they reflect upon and present their internship experiences.
Learning objectiveThe students will set their own learning and working goals, and reflect on learning and work performance within the framework of their internship provider.
ContentThe course Professional Internship consists of

- a preparatory phase, which includes an information event, the attendance of Agro Day II as well as seeking a suitable internship position.
- the placement period, preferably in the 3rd semester of the master's programme, but necessarily before the master's thesis, lasting at least 16 weeks. During placement period, additional written assignments will be completed.
- a follow-up phase, which includes presenting a "1-minute presentation" and discussing a poster on Agro-Day II.
