Contents
The students work on a scientific task specified by the practical institution in accordance with the experimental possibilities provided and are part of the respective working group. In addition to the concrete work on the topic, the students are expected to develop and deepen their theoretical understanding of the experimental background through regular literature work (primary literature) and to enable an appropriate presentation and discussion of the results achieved in the written work. The general rules for scientific publications in the respective field apply to the written report to be prepared on the project carried out.
Learning outcomes
After completing the module, students are able to work on and document a specific task in a practical setting using scientific methods under supervision. This project study includes both practical laboratory and theoretical teaching content such as literature research, database use, scientific writing and presentation techniques. The research internship is therefore a central, career-oriented study phase. The students learn systematic scientific procedures, acquire skills in various methods and also in how to integrate socially into a working group. They take part in internal meetings and are able to present their scientific work and discuss results or problems constructively. They learn to plan, carry out and evaluate the experiments they discuss independently and conscientiously.
Assessment
Written report 60% Colloquium - Oral presentation (15 min) 30% and discussion (15 min) of the results 10% The written report should not exceed a maximum of 35 pages (including appendix). It is written in English and presented in a colloquium. The deadline for submitting the report is usually the last day of the exam in the first exam period in the summer semester.
