Projects as Pathways to Real-World Experience
Study Projects
In the 4th and 5th semesters, students engage in interdisciplinary projects that integrate knowledge from marketing, engineering, product development, and innovation management. These projects, done in collaboration with the region's most innovative companies, serve as a practical application of classroom theories, allowing students to combine their diverse skills to solve real industry challenges.
Podcast The Agile Way
The goal of the project was to create a concept and produce the initial episodes of a podcast targeting innovation managers, R&D managers, and agile coaches. Integrating marketing expertise with agile competencies, students launched an interview-style podcast for the Institute for Agile Transformation, which has since attracted a wide audience of companies and consultants.
RUFF Golf
The goal of the project was to assess the market potential for an innovative minigolf concept in Austria. Combining market research and analytical skills, students designed and conducted a survey to test the feasibility of the proposed indoor minigolf concept, providing essential data for RUFF's strategic decisions.
Life Tool
The goal of the project was to develop an innovative solution that enhances safety for water sports enthusiasts and swimmers. By blending technical expertise, user-centered design, and strategic thinking, the project addressed critical risks in aquatic environments, aiming to save lives.
Internships
In the 6th semester, students undertake a mandatory internship, providing a crucial opportunity to apply their interdisciplinary skills in a professional setting. This practical experience is complemented by work on their Bachelor's thesis.
