Internship | BPS

If the registration deadline for participation in the BPS practical project is missed, subsequent registration is no longer possible; in justified cases, a written application may be submitted to the Faculty's Examination Board for subsequent admission.

If you wish to postpone the BPS practical project to another semester, please inform the BPS department informally by e-mail to bps[at]asl.uni-kassel[dot]de.

Missing module was/is already taken, examination and/or grade still missing:

If you are taking a module required for the practical project in the current semester and still have to take the examination or if you have already taken the module in a previous semester but the grade has not yet been entered, please indicate this in the prerequisite form. If you are registered for the module for the examination, you will be admitted to the practical part (internship) with reservations. It will only be possible to register for the examination in the BPS practical project module once you have fulfilled the prerequisites by providing proof of successful completion of the required modules.

Missing module was/is not yet taken:

If you are missing modules that are not taken at the latest in the semester before the internship, you cannot be admitted to the BPS practical project. Modules that have not yet been completed cannot be taken in the same semester in which the practical project is to be completed in order to provide proof of the prerequisites. In justified cases, a written application may be submitted to the Faculty's Examination Board for admission despite the lack of prerequisites.

The prerequisites for recognition as a practical placement within the framework of the BPS are, on the one hand, the professional relevance of the projects that are worked on during your practical phase and, on the other hand, you should be accompanied on site by a qualified specialist supervisor with a corresponding university degree, i.e:

• for architecture students > supervision by an architect
• for students of Urban and Regional Planning > supervision by an urban planner, regional planner, urban designer or similar
• for students of landscape architecture and landscape planning > supervision by a landscape architect, landscape planner or similar.

We will be happy to issue a certificate for you. Please send an e-mail to bps[at]asl.uni-kassel[dot]de. If you have not yet communicated the internship period and the internship location, please also let us know.

If you fall ill during your internship, you should inform your internship office immediately and submit a certificate of incapacity for work in accordance with the requirements.

At the end of your internship, you should also submit a copy of the certificate of incapacity for work to the BPS department using the verification form. Up to 5 sick days do not have to be made up by submitting a certificate of incapacity for work. All days of absence in excess of this must be made up.

Exam registration

In addition to registering for the BPS unit, you must also register for the module examinations in ecampus during your practical semester. The BPS practical project consists of two examinations:

(1) Internship, participation in accompanying and follow-up seminar

• 16100360 Practical Project Practical Studies BPS - Internship

(2) Student research project + technical discussion in one of the fields of study A, C or D with your examiner:

• 16100310 Practical Project Practical Studies BPS - General Sciences (A) or
• 16100320 Practical Project Professional Practice Studies BPS - Instruments, Procedures and Technology (C) or
• 16100330 Practical Project Professional Practice Studies BPS - Planning Objects and Planning Levels (D)

Deregistration from examinations

It is generally possible to deregister from written examinations at the Office for Student Affairs and Examinations up to the day before the examination without giving reasons. There is no standard submission deadline for the BPS coursework, so you must deregister at least one day before the end of the semester (winter semester by 30.03, summer semester 29.09).

There is no deadline for submitting the internship certificate. We recommend that you submit the original certificate to the BPS department as soon as possible after completing your internship.

The internship certificate is required by us so that the internship can be recorded as passed and the grade for the BPS coursework can be entered in your transcript of records. If all parts of the practical project have been successfully and demonstrably completed (internship, participation in seminars, coursework + technical discussion), the grade for the coursework will be entered promptly by the Office for Student Affairs and Examinations as soon as it is available.

The grade for the BPS coursework can only be entered once you have submitted the internship certificate in the BPS unit; partial grades are not entered. If all parts of the practical project have been successfully and demonstrably completed (internship, participation in seminars, coursework + technical discussion), your grade will be entered promptly by the Office for Student Affairs and Examinations.
