Professional Skills Certificate
The aim of the certificate programme is to prepare students for the global job market of the future and to sensitise them during their studies to professional activities and contexts that may not yet exist or are difficult to plan and predict. Professional skills enable students to independently plan and make the necessary adjustments. Students can choose courses from six areas of competence and thus document and certify their personal development and level of knowledge: professional and methodological competence, communicative competence, social competence, self-competence, intercultural competence and digital competence.
By obtaining the Professional Skills Certificate, which students in bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes can include in their application portfolio, students and employers receive proof that they have a high degree of self-organisation and decision-making skills to best meet the requirements of the world of work 4.0.
