Perspectives of Professional Practice

Terms like marketing, project implementation, entrepreneurial self-employment hover over you like a sword of Damocles - you know you might need them at some point, but you're unsure if you want to dive deep into the subject matter?
Our course will provide an introduction and overview of the above concepts in twelve units. Colleagues and alumni of the Angewandte will give a first insight into the conceptual matter, talk about their own professional practice and be available for questions in a subsequent discussion. In the context of this course there will be two excursions in the Vienna area.

ATTENTION: This course is a co-teaching format. In order to receive all ECTS points, please attend both seminars with the title "Perspektiven beruflicher Praxis" (Lecturers: Alexandra Graupner and Angelika Zelisko, course numbers: S04219 and S04221).
