During your studies, you not only develop specialised knowledge, but also important interdisciplinary skills. This module helps you to consciously reflect on these and develop them further in a targeted manner – for example with regard to job applications or your professional future.

Using various methods of self-reflection, you will learn to assess your professional and interdisciplinary skills. In practical exercises, you will look at yourself, your strengths, future skills such as communication, cooperation, reflection and digital skills, time management and goal setting, and support each other in peer groups. The process is accompanied by the teaching team of lecturers and student co-trainers.

Programme:

• Basic workshop: 25 – 26 September 2025, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. each day
