Master's level practical assignments/projects are internships/projects on a specific topic, which are completed at a chair or in a working group in the Department of Computer Science or at one of the affiliated institutes. They cannot be carried out as part of an activity as a research assistant or student assistant.
These projects can be included in the category of "free credits" in the Master's degree programme with a maximum of 6 CP in accordance with Section 5 (2) 5a of the study regulations. For 6 CP a total of 180 hours of work are necessary, which means almost 5 weeks full-time work.
In contrast to the industrial internship, pre-registration is not required for a Master's internship. At the end of the project, you will receive a certificate stating the duration of the internship and the CP, which you submit to your contact person in the Examinations Office. The title of the project is noted on the corresponding certificate ("Bescheinigung"). The certificate for a Master's internship must always be signed by a person who can be a legitimate examiner (Prüfer), i.e. who is on the list or who has been approved by the respective examination board.
