TY - CHAP U1 - Buchbeitrag A1 - Scheuer, Udo T1 - Fostering Employability Through Practical Projects T2 - Boachie-Mensah, Munyoki, Scheuer (Eds.): Handbook of Applied Market Research and Personnel Services at Universities N2 - While Anglo-Saxon HEIs focus on a strong educational background and personal development of students, the German system, in particular Universities of Applied Sciences, emphasize employability through the transfer of job-related professional and soft skills. In this context, learning by practical application of skills has become an important instrument. Concepts for linking theory and application include research-based learning, practical internships or service learning – methods, which also maintain high standards of academic education.
