Accompanying sheet (Begleitblatt):

• The student has to keep an accompanying sheet for the practical study semester and complete it independently (part 1 before internship, part 2 after internship).

Special admission requirements:

• Proof of successful completion of modules E812, I905, I958, I995,M001-M006, S512, S513 by means of grade excerpt and submission to the internship officer (use accompanying sheet)
