Definition working student

Working students (d/f/m) are students who are enrolled at a University or some other institution of higher education, and who are employed in a reasonably long, fixed-term position parallel to their studies. This position must not be confused with an internship or with the possibility of writing a final thesis.

This employment usually takes place directly on the company's premises. A working student's main focus remains on their studies, which is why, during term-time, working students are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week.

Working students therefore usually work near their place of study, so as to conveniently combine studying and employment.

A final thesis is possible after consultation with the department.

Process, analyse, and display complex datasets.
Support software design, implementation, testing, and documentation.
Collaborate with software and navigation engineers to improve functionality and usability.
Contribute to code quality and continuous improvement activities.

Enrolled full-time student (d/f/m) in a Bachelor's or Master's programme in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Geodesy, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field.
Strong interest in software development and data analysis, and trong analytical and problem-solving skills.
