Due to the exceptional circumstances resulting from the pandemic, the requirement to have pre-course experience does not apply to the Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (PO 2019) and Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Management (PO 2019 and PO 2020) degree courses.

The Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (PO 2016) and Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Management (PO 2016) degree courses require students to prove that they have completed 13 weeks of pre-course experience (basic-level internship). The department has developed the following training guidlines (in German).

You can submit an application to have your pre-course experience certified to the staff member responsible for the basic-level internship. Please complete the pre-course experience form to do so.

A 20-week internship semester is integrated into the fifth semester of the Electrical Engineering and Information Technology degree course and the Information Engineering degree course. The following documents provide detailed information (in German) about the internship:

• Guidelines for the internship semester
• Application process for an internship semester
• Internship semester – sample contract
• Internship semester – application form

If you have questions about the internship semesters in the cooperative degree programme, please contact the internship coordinator.

The Bachelor's project is intended to provide the opportunity for four people to work as a team on a topic of their choice. This will give them experience in applying project management methods while addressing complex technical problems and help develop their teamwork skills. More detailed information (in German) is provided in the Bachelor project information sheet.
