-
        Personal instrumental skills (using tools, techniques, methods, databases that enable knowledge to be generated and/or planned and applied in a targeted manner)
       (e.g. information management, time management, presentation techniques, computer applications, databases
 
        for literature research)
-        Scientific skills (precision in citation, formatting scientific texts,
        definition of research gaps or goals)
-        Systemic skills (e.g. skills such as creativity, adaptability, flexibility in implementing concepts, etc. that are necessary to understand one´s own work as part of an extensive system and be able to carry it out efficiently)
       (introducing innovations, initiating, planning and implementing change processes, networked thinking)

Module content:
This module consists of a supervised research phase in, for example, an institute over a total duration of 24 weeks. It is however, also possible to split the research phase up into two shorter phases. Students will take on tasks within the framework of scientific research projects or the supervision of a research project (e.g. communication within the research team or with external project partners, preparation of project plans, cooperation in scientific concept development, support in the preparation of research proposals, support in the evaluation and preparation of research documentation, outcome reports and scientific or practice-oriented articles).
 
Within the framework of a paper with a presentation, students will present a suitable project or task from their research project in detail with the respective problems/challenges and approaches. In doing so, students should reflect upon the skills they acquired/developed during their internship.
The paper should also contain a technical and interdisciplinary skill profile in the form of a comparison between target and actual skills and a definition of the resulting fields of action. The paper must be submitted no later than 4 weeks after completion of the research phase.
