Vorbereitung für das Fachpraktikum

The IT Co-op is an integral component of this program as it provides students with essential real-world technical experience in an English speaking environment. As students return to their home country, the combination of a Western diploma and co-op is not only a competitive advantage, but allows students the opportunity to understand and experience the cultural and business nuances that can only be gained from a prolonged hands-on experience. The 48 week co-op is equal to the 48-weeks of academic classes students attend.
