The practical stage is designed to enable students to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired during their course outline within a company. The aim of the practical stage is for students to familiarise themselves with the tasks of a Computer Science specialist through their own practical, engineering Sciences-related activities. This includes, among other things

• Necessary framework conditions for project initiation (budget, resources, deadlines, legal requirements)
• Gaining an overview of the technical, organisational and economic context of the company and its social structures
• Acquisition of personal experience in the professional field characterised by technical, organisational and economic issues and the typical work processes and contexts there
• Specialisations in modern working methods for solving tasks (e.g. project management, team and group work, moderation)

In addition, key skills such as the ability to cooperate and work in a team, presentation and moderation skills and strategies for acquiring knowledge are practised and specialisations are developed. General transfer and social skills (rhetoric, conflict management) are also trained in a practical way through the organisation of the project in a team, preparing students for their future professional experience in industry.

Further organisational and formal information, including a sample contract for the practical stage, can be found in the practical regulations.

All information and framework conditions for the practical project of your KMI study programme are identical to those of the Bachelor's degree programme in Computer Science. You can find the information you need on the following page:
