Content

The goal of this seminar is interdisciplinary learning with a practical orientation to motivate the participants to self-study and prepare them for later professional life.

Master students from various fields work in small interdisciplinary groups (à 4 people) to solve practical problems and put them into practice. The projects which are partially developed by industry partners will be presented regularly during class by the participants and will be evaluated mutually.

For the practical implementation knowledge of the software R is advantageous. An introduction into working with R will be provided in the last week before the winter term starts. For more information about the R preparation course please click here.

The participants experience in the seminar a situation comparable to later professional life and apply their knowledge and skills acquired during their study in a practical manner.

If desired, special topics can be pursued more intensively in an internship or in a subsequent master’s thesis.
