Work Placement

First study cycle, Bachelor

The participants:
• apply the acquired knowledge in practice.
• understand processes in the professional environment.
• solve problems in professional projects and implement the solutions developed.
• independently develop arguments, solutions to problems and strategies and refine them.

All courses of the previous semesters as specified in the curriculum

The course content depends on the activities that students carry out at the host organization. Students select a placement position independently. In doing so, they can draw on the extensive range of placement listings provided by Kufstein University of Applied Sciences Tyrol. The program management reviews whether the placement activities are professionally aligned with the study content and the qualification profiles of the program. Following this, the program management checks whether the work placement corresponds to the educational objectives of the program and whether the student can be deployed in line with their qualification level. A detailed placement guide supports students in organizing their practical semester.
A minimum of 500 working hours in full-time employment must be completed.
