  • The Interim Project is based on taking an internship in an organisation (company, state authority etc.) with focus in the area of study. The student's work in the course of the internship must comply with the T-shaped profile, requiring both deep IT knowledge and experience and extensive overview and basic skills in other disciplines (economy, marketing, management, law etc.).

Students must make sure the company guarantor meets stipulated criteria, i.e. completed university education in technical field with three years of experience in the area of the internship in the least. The guarantor’s experience is calculated as of their university graduation.
  • PA185 is the first part of the internship to be followed up by PA186 in the same organisation in subsequent term. Exceptions are only possible with the lecturer’s consent. In case there is a threat of conflict of interests, the lecturer may choose not to approve the enrolment.

Student will deliver the signed paper five days before enrolment at the latest to the course's Study Materials internship, file: "Interim Proposal".
