Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module aims to prepare the student to actively search for and take up a career in line with the profile of a biotechnology graduate. This is fostered by an independent exploration of institutions for internship, recognition of one's own capabilities on the labour market and establishment of professional contacts. During the internship, the student becomes familiar with the specifics of the work and the requirements of the various work positions. This can be helpful for students who want to take 2nd-degree studies in determining their further education profile by selecting a specific specialisation or optional modules. The students can test their knowledge and skills in the labour market. In addition, the students familiarise themselves with the organisation, develop teamwork skills and improve their effective time management.
