Practical period
Practice? Practice. Practice!
The Bachelor’s programme in the Department of Applied Computer Science includes a compulsory practical placement (internship) ‒ the practical project module. The practical project is the best way to put theory into practice and to gain initial professional experience, as well as to establish contact with potential employers.
The practical project is generally completed at a software company or in relevant departments at other companies and is supervised jointly by a professor in the Department of Applied Computer Science and a representative of the company. Advantage should also be taken of the practical project to define the thesis topic more precisely.
Duration
The practical project in the Bachelor's programmes lasts for a continuous period of 3 month of full-time work with an internship provider. Students’ daily hours of work are the same as the usual working hours at the internship provider.
Timing
The practical project is completed as the first part of the final semester. It is intended to be followed by the Bachelor’s thesis as the second part. Students apply to appropriate companies during the preceding semester and look for a supervisor among the professors. Before the practical project begins, a work schedule is agreed with the company and the supervising professor. The practical project is also intended to be used to define the topic for the thesis more precisely.
