In the 4th semester, you are introduced to empirical research. You will also work on practical projects. The programme also covers interviewing and negotiation skills, a core elective module as well as accounting and controlling.

The internship phase, consisting of an internship seminar and reflection module, is scheduled for the 5th semester. Now it's time to put your theoretical knowledge and skills to the test.
