Module content:
The practical study phase is a supervised training period that corresponds with the content of the student’s studies and that is integrated into the course of study. It is usually done in a firm or other institution that corresponds with the field of study.
 
The student should undertake tasks in the firm which correspond to the occupational profile of the business economist and if possible, also correspond with the content of the course of study.
The practical study phase must be done in a foreign non-German-speaking country.  Foreign students whose native language is not German may do their practical study in Germany. The practical phase comprises a block period of at least 12 weeks, of which according to the curriculum 8 weeks are completed in the 3rd semester (Practical Training I) and 4 weeks in the 4th semester (Practical Training II).  On request, an interruption can be authorized by the examination board upon reasonable grounds. Continuous periods of practical training are not obligatory for students studying according to the cooperative study model.
The student will enter into a contract with the company before the practical phase begins; the department for practical training must approve before the contact is closed.
The student must prepare a report about their experiences during the practical study phase. It must be turned in to the department for practical training 4 weeks after completing the practical study phase.
