Practical placement of students

Practical placement objective

The College of Polytechnics Jihlava, as a professionally oriented higher educational institution, requires its students to complete a practical placement.

Practical placement scope

Since the academic year 2019/2020, there has been a practical placement of students in the total length of 3+14 weeks in the 5th semester in the full-time form of study of the Applied Informatics programme.

In the full-time form of the Applied Engineering and Applied Mechanical Engineering programmes, there is a practical placement of a total duration of 14 weeks in the 6th semester of study.

In the follow-up Master's degree Applied Engineering programme, there is a practical placement of 12 weeks in the 4th semester of study.

In the combined form, the same scope of the required practical placement as in the full-time form applies. However, work experience is usually counted towards the students' practical placement - see below. Practical placement is one of the compulsory subjects and must therefore be completed no later than during the course of study. However, for the same reason, unlike in previous years, confirmation of work experience is not required as a condition for admission to study.

Practical placement tutor

The subject of the Practical Placement is the responsibility of the placement tutor  Ing. Jan Jirsa. The placement tutor mainly decides whether the placement proposed by the student is acceptable. The head of the department decides disputable or unclear cases.

The administrative aspects of the Practical Placement are the responsibility of the placement secretary, who is the secretary of the department, Ms. Michaela Machovcová.

Directives and internal guidelines of the Department

The practical placement within the study programmes provided by the Department of Technical Studies of the College of Polytechnics Jihlava is governed by the Internal Guidelines for Practical Placement for Students of the College of Polytechnics, which can be downloaded in the information system, and Internal Guidelines for Practical Placement for Students of the Department of Technical Studies. For the smooth running of the placement, in addition to the above-mentioned internal instruction, students can access the Practical Placement Guide, where all information about practical placement at the Department of Technical Studies of the College of Polytechnics is published.
In detail, the conditions for successful completion of the Practical Placement are described in the Practical Placement Guide.
