From the 3rd semester of bachelor’s study programs, or the 2nd semester of master’s study programs inclusive, you will automatically be enrolled in the optional subject Practice Administration for 0 credits.
However, this does not mean that you have to start doing the internship already in the 3rd (2nd) semester. You can, of course, stick to your recommended study plan and complete the internship only in the semester in which it is scheduled. You can complete the internship at any time from the 3rd semester to the 6th (8th) semester.
The subject A_PX is only used administratively to provide you with an overview of all offered companies in the PRAXE application in IS. From this list you can draw contacts of responsible persons who you can contact and find out whether or not they could provide you with an internship.
However, this does not mean that the company must accept you, for example, this will not be possible due to capacity reasons.
It always applies that the student actively searches for practice on his own based on the recommended learning outcomes.
You will receive credit from A_PX only after successfully defending your internship, and then you will be enrolled in a proper internship subject for which you will also receive credit. Students do not enroll themselves in any subject related to practice.
Unless otherwise stated in the annotation of the subject Professional Practice (Practice) of the relevant program, there must be no conflict with the fulfillment of standard study obligations (e.g. overlap of the study schedule and attendance at practice). It is also possible to do practice after the exam period or during the summer holidays.
Practices are administered in the VŠTE Information System using the application “PRAXE”, which can be found under the above link: https://is.vstecb.cz/auth/praxe/
(The condition for this tile to be active is to have enrolled in the Practice Administration subject).
Company selection
First, you choose a company where you could fulfill as many of the desired learning outcomes as possible. You contact the company and find out if they could provide you with an internship. If so, the next step will be to log in to the company in the PRAXE application in IS.
You always log in to the company that matches your graduate profile.
It is your responsibility to check whether the chosen contractual partner will provide you with an internship that corresponds to your focus. E.g.: You are a student of the Bachelor’s degree program in Business Economics, and you would like to apply for an internship at the BOSCH company. The BOSCH company will confirm to you that you can start the internship, but will only have the option of placing you in production. In this case, you would not be able to fulfill the learning outcomes.
You can also propose your own company in the application, which is not on the list.
The request will be assessed by the External Relations Section in cooperation with the guarantee workplace within 15 days.
The request will be assessed by the External Relations Section in cooperation with the guarantee workplace within 15 working days. If the guarantor does not approve the request, the student will be informed by e-mail.
Once your application has been approved in the PRAXE application, the PROGRESS OF PRACTICE button will appear under the approved company. Click on it and you will be taken to a page where you will find all the necessary forms. Here you can print them, and at the same time scan them to the same place.
The first is the Protocol on the acceptance of the student for professional practice – the student will ensure that this protocol is filled out and signed by the responsible representative of the contractual partner and also by the supervisor. In some cases, it is the same person.
You submit the completed and signed protocol electronically in the PRAXE application as soon as possible, but no later than seven days from the day of starting practice.
If you do not hand in the Protocol on admission to the practice by the given date, you cannot start the practice. In the event that you start the internship even in such a case, your hours worked will not be counted.
In the event that the contractual partner is not approved for you or does not accept you, the contractual partner will be assigned to you for practice. The student is informed about the assignment of a contractual partner by e-mail.
In the event that you do not accept the assigned contractual partner, after the end of the semester, you will be given the grade “Failure” in the subject Practice Administration and in the regular subject Professional Practice (Practice).
Course of Professional Experience
Attendance at practice and content of activities are checked by an employee of the External Relations Department, who informs the director of ÚŘAS about the progress of checks.
If you cannot come to practice on a given day, you are obliged to report your absence by e-mail no later than one working day in advance. In the case of sudden reasons (for example, illness), report the absence on the same day to the e-mail praxe@mail.vstecb.cz.
In the event that you do not report your absence in the above-mentioned manner, do not fulfill your obligations, repeatedly arrive at the place of practice with delay or do not fulfill your duties sufficiently according to the assignment of the supervisor, you will be assigned an assessment for the subject Administration of practice and in the regular subject Professional practice (Practice) “Did not comply”.
If the cooperation between you and the contractual partner is terminated during the practice, the ÚVV assesses the reason for this termination. If there are reasons for termination of cooperation on the part of the company, you can choose a contractual partner for practice again and you keep the hours already worked on the practice account.
You have the option to interrupt or change the institution by sending an e-mail with reasons to praxe@mail.vstecb.cz. The length of the interruption of practice is a maximum of 1.5 years.
During your internship at the company, you keep a work diary, which gradually adds up to your internship account.
Completion of Professional Experience
All conditions for successful completion of the subject Professional Practice (Practice) are listed in the annotation of the given subject.
After completing the internship, the student is required to submit all necessary forms to the IS (Work diary, Record of completed internship, Evaluation of professional experience by the student) no later than 15 working days after completion.
Subsequently, you can apply for the defense of practice as soon as the term under the subject A_PX is announced.
The defense will take place on the basis of the Final Report from the internship, without which it will not be possible to defend the internship.
From WS 2023, all students without distinction must participate in the practical defense. Including students of the combined form.
