The process and contents of professional orientation and career exploration are approached through a variety of different perspectives. A theory- and research-based lens is used for the interactive lecture sessions. Students are invited to bring their own perspective into discussions as well as important and influential opinions from their – private or professional - social environment.

Alongside the lecture, several teaching strategies are applied to support student engagement during the semester and competence transfer to practice. Students are encouraged to reflect about course contents through regular and guided self-reflection exercises. Students are introduced to typical career exploration and planning activities. To facilitate the transfer to practice, selected techniques and methods from Design Thinking and Life Design are adapted.
