- Brief description
In the Scientific Practice Project - Design, students independently investigate, define and structure a self-selected theoretical or practical topic area using the competencies acquired during their studies. They narrow this down to a concrete question or problem that is suitable as the basis for the Bachelor's thesis. In doing so, the students apply a research or professional practice-oriented approach and project structure. They carry out the Scientific Practice Project - Design either in a training center (e.g. research institution, company) or within the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences.
- Teaching and learning outcomes
Students practically apply subject-specific research, analysis and planning methods in a coordinated manner within an extensive and complex subject area in an expedient form. They document the results by appropriate means.
Students participate in the faculty-wide Project Week during their second or fourth semester.

- Presentation
- Knowledge Broadening
Students will be able to define and present discipline-specific research, analysis, and planning methods.
- Knowledge deepening
Students will be able to characterize and classify subject-specific research, analysis, and planning methods and confidently assess their practical applications.
- Knowledge Understanding
Students will be able to evaluate diverse discipline-specific research, analysis, and planning methods for their suitability in specific scientific and practical design projects.
- Application and Transfer
Students are able to collect, structure, evaluate and assess relevant information on complex theoretical and practical topics in a methodologically sound and comprehensive manner, thus creating the basis for a design draft.
- Academic Innovation
Students are able to develop innovative perspectives on different theoretical and practical topics by combining their diverse methodological repertoire with their individual creative skills and using them in a targeted manner.
- Communication and Cooperation
Students will be able to formulate complex technical aspects of design topics and to communicate and argue these in a well-founded and clear manner in discourse with different target groups.
- Academic Self-Conception / Professionalism
Students are able to adequately assess their individual qualification profile with regard to competencies relevant to academic success. They recognize the influence of their professional activities on society, culture and the environment and reflect on their personal responsibility.
