The aim of the project module is to give students the opportunity to explore practice-related and research-based issues arising from inquiries and offers from third-sector partners and the topics and problems they face.

Using the example of real-life practical problems, students are expected to develop solutions, enabling them to directly experience and address issues of strategic and operational management. Furthermore, the module simultaneously provides a practical introduction to project management.

• Analysis of the goal of the practical project
• Concept/strategy development theory
• Implementation of practical conceptualization
• Reflection through supervision and coaching
• Target group-specific presentation

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

Collaborating with partners from the third sector, students learn how to tackle practical problems as part of a team, enabling them to systematically apply the knowledge they have acquired and to brush up on any missing aspects.

This depends on the problem and topic addressed. Areas of focus range from fundraising and organizational issues to evaluation and impact measurement. In principle, all modules taught in the Master program can provide the basis for a practical concept.

Students learn to develop solutions to problems for practice as part of a team.

Students possess the knowledge and skills required to apply management techniques in practice.

Students utilize the underlying research and select specific ways to operationalize it.

Students are required to develop and represent their proposed solutions to problems using argumentation, presenting them to their “clients” in an appropriate manner. In doing so, it is important that students present the concepts they have developed in such a way that they can be understood easily, while still retaining the necessary complexity.

Students develop an understanding of the real world of work. By interacting with “clients”, students gain insights into the different areas of the NPO sector. By presenting their results, students learn how to communicate complex information in a comprehensible way within a limited timeframe.

The practical module is linked to all other modules in the degree program. Any content from the Master program can be incorporated into the module, depending on the offers made by our partners in the field.
