Course overview

As part of the project course, you will work in teams in close cooperation with popular companies on specific business challenges. For one semester, you will step into the role of a business consultant and tackle projects that companies face in today’s business environment.

The project course enables you to build upon theoretical knowledge and scientific methods you have acquired during your studies and apply them in practice. By doing so, you will get to know the daily routine of project work and get in contact with company representatives.
