Schließlich wird die Fähigkeit geschult, Arbeitsergebnisse professionell zu präsentieren.

• Fachübergreifende Kompetenzen, Berufsbefähigung Studenten wenden auch komplexe multivariate Analysemethoden auf reale Fragestellungen von Unternehmen an und erarbeiten in den je-weiligen betrieblichen Kontext passende Lösungen. Dabei lernen sie komplexe Fragestellungen und unterschiedliche Interessengruppen im Projekt zu managen.

• Soziale Kompetenzen, Schlüsselkompetenzen Durch die offene Fragestellung werden Selbstverantwortung sowie die Kooperationsfähigkeit in einem Team trainiert sowie soziale und ethische Urteilskraft und Verantwortung gelebt. Im Rahmen der Pro-jektgruppe, in der Interaktion mit dem Unternehmen sowie mit dem Zielmarkt wird auch die interkulturelle Kompetenz und die sprachli-che Interaktion in einer Fremdsprache gestärkt.

• Persönliche Kompetenzen Der Wechsel von Theorie und Diskussion im Seminar und Praxis mit dem Unternehmen stärkt die Problemlösungs- und Entscheidungsfä-higkeit, Zielorientierung, das Selbstmanagement, die Teamfähigkeit, sowie internationale Kompetenzen und die sprachliche Ausdrucksfä-higkeit.
