The invitation for the placement exam and recognition of previous achievements takes place in the context of the application process.
Second study stage – subject-related semesters 4 to 6
With the start of the fourth semester, the attendance of studies at the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences begins.
In the fourth and fifth semesters, multidisciplinary groups and occupational group-specific courses are offered. The scientific practical project and the Bachelor thesis are planned for the sixth semester.
