Internship semester: gaining work experience
Aim of internship semester is:
- to consolidate, expand and apply in practice the knowledge and skills gained in courses, e.g. through involvement in a project
- to help students decide what area they would like to work in later and the relevant courses they will need to take when completing their degree
- to gain practical experience in working as a safety and security engineer/occupational safety expert
- to evaluate the internship tasks
- to gather ideas for the subject of a practical thesis
Positions in companies
Students should work in one or more of the areas taught on the programme. These include:
- IT security
- Occupational safety
- Fire protection
- Hazardous goods management,
- Plant security
- Protection of critical infrastructures
Size, sector and location of company are of secondary importance.
Duration
Students must spend a minimum of 95 days actually in the company (= c. 20 weeks). It is possible to divide the time up into several shorter internships.
