Soft and professional skills

In accordance with study and examination regulations, the module “Soft and Professional Skills” is scheduled in all our bachelor’s programmes for the 5th semester and is thus in the same semester as the Internship Module. The companies are obliged by the internship contract to release you from work so you can attend the module at FHWS.

However, if you plan to do the internship in a company further away or completely block your 5th semester for the internship, it is also possible to take some or all course sessions in this module in the 4th semester already.

Please note that the registration of a bachelor’s thesis in all degree programmes requires the successful participation in this module (i.e. in all six individual course sessions).Opens internal link in current window
