Short overview on practical phase and final thesis (relevant for BSc degree courses)
The practical phase has to be completed in appropriate companies, administrative or research institutions (also at BRSU). Accompanying events take place at the university. There is no entitlement to the allocation of a place for an external practical phase.
During the practical phase our students are supervised by a professor or teacher of the university who has been assigned by the examination board as well as a tutor at the training institution.
The participation will be confirmed by the person in charge for supervision, if a certificate of the training institution concerning the active participation of the student has been presented - or - the practical work corresponded with the purpose of the practical phase and the student properly carried out the tasks delegated to him or her
The practical phase can be repeated once if the participation has not been confirmed by the person in charge for supervision.
