Theoretical knowledge is only one aspect of being successful in your future job. You must also be able to apply what you have learned in practice. Although our focus as a university is on imparting theoretical knowledge and the latest research results, we do not neglect the practical side of things.
Gain practical experience
Internships offer a good opportunity to gain insight into companies and fields of activity. They give you orientation and work experience for later career entry. In the Bachelor's study program Digital Business Management at the University of Hohenheim, you can integrate an internship directly into your studies. Here you have a wide range of options, including an internship abroad. Investing time in an internship is worthwhile and makes it easier to start a career later on. You can also work as a student trainee in the industrial sector or as a student assistant at the university while you study. This gives you exciting, practical insights, a look behind the scenes of business or university, and allows you to earn your own money at the same time.
Expand competences
In addition to specialist knowledge and practical experience, soft skills such as personal, social, and methodological competences also play an important role. We offer you an extensive range of further training: Language skills, project management, communication and presentation techniques, IT and media skills, personal development, and techniques for studying and working. This way you can improve these skills during your studies in an uncomplicated and cost-effective way.
Learning from practice
We maintain close contacts with the business community and regularly have lecturers and guest speakers from the corporate world. Here you will learn how the contents and theories taught are implemented and applied in business practice. At the same time, you can make valuable contacts, as companies like to advertise internships and career entry at these events.
Learn languages, understand cultures
Explore the world and study abroad for a semester or complete an internship abroad. This experience is not only unique, but you will also broaden your horizons while learning more about yourself and the world. It also ensures that you can strengthen your language skills and intercultural competences. These are particularly welcome skills for international companies. We have over 80 partner universities in Europe and all over the world.
Research during your studies
Research projects offer a good opportunity to apply learned methods and skills in practice, to test your own ideas, and to find completely new solutions to problems. In the project “Humboldt reloaded,” you will go through all stages of a real research project, from the preparation of the current state of research and the selection of methods for your own research to data analysis and presentation.
