Placements

Placements are mandatory for students of FH Bachelor's and FH diploma degree programmes. It has to be ensured that the placement corresponds to the educational goals of the FH degree programme and that the students perform jobs that reflect their qualifications.

The principle of freedom of contract applies to the definition of the legal relationship between the student and the company offering the placement. As the degree programme requires a placement, the legal status is usually that of an intern.

The intern status establishes an employer-employee relationship. Interns have an employer-employee relationship with the company; they are obliged to perform their responsibilities and are entitled to compensation. The amount of the compensation is negotiable; at any rate, however, it should cover the increased costs students incur during the placement at the location of the placement and possible travel costs.

Please ask the course-providing bodies and the heads of degree programmes for the detailed rules for placements. The legal principles of the relevant countries apply to placements abroad.
