MODULE NAME: PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION Recommended period: 1 st year SHORT NAME: INST CLASSIFICATION: Course-credit TYPE: Compulsory SCOPE: 0+4/Z, 0+6/L NUMBER OF CREDITS: 6 per period MODULE CONTENT: During the first year, full-time students in the winter period become familiar with the functioning of the courts. Students are required to attend at least two court hearings, based on which they will prepare reports from their attendance demonstrating the ability to identify the substantive-law basis of the dispute and use their own words to briefly describe the course of the trial. In judicial attendance, assessment will be also made of their ability to independently interpret the course of the trial, identify and pass on the most important items on the agenda. Students learn to work independently with legislative sources and look for the necessary information. In the summer period, students will participate in lectures by experts from selected fields. These lectures are focused on introducing students to the specificities of the selected fields, the requirements for their performance and practical experience of the lecturers (e.g. a Police commissioner, Labour Office official, marketing worker or lawyer). Based on the lectures, the students subsequently prepare a seminary paper in which they select a lecture of their own choice and characterise the profession in the seminary paper (requirements for the performance, legal regulation, etc.). They also focus on the subjectively perceived positives and negatives of each profession or their own consideration of the lectures. In addition to the content, seminars emphasize the formal presentation and grammatical correctness of the text so that in their future profession students are able to prepare the required documents not only in terms of content, but also formally at the desired level. The aim of the paper is to introduce students to the Directive on the preparation of seminar papers / graduate thesis, good work with literature and proper use of quotations (direct and indirect) This means that in addition to the fulfilment of content requirements, the student must also prepare the properly in terms of formal grammatical aspects. The seminar paper thus represents the first introduction of the student to the requirements placed on graduate thesis. This procedure is based on many years of experience of SOKRATES management. It has proven its worth both for the students and for their future employers as the students who take traineeships in later years of study have a very good idea of its course, and become trained faster. The Practical Instruction module is then naturally followed up by the Traineeship module. 83

MODULE NAME: TRAINEESHIP Recommended period: 2 nd 3 rd year SHORT NAME: PRAX CLASSIFICATION: Course-credit TYPE: Compulsory SCOPE: 2 nd year, ongoing practice (96 hrs per period), alt. 0+8 3 rd year, ongoing practice (175 hrs per period) NUMBER OF CREDITS: 2 nd year 8 per period 3 rd year 15 per period MODULE CONTENT: Students of the second and third year complete the Traineeship module by way of a (continuous) practice in a private company (e.g. law firm, accounting office) or public entities (e.g. municipal authorities, courts). Second-year students have the required allocation of 96 hours of traineeship per period. The traineeship takes place on the day of the week decided by the school, usually on Fridays. During the traineeship, the students usually work in the economic department, sales department or administrative positions in the financial department. Students also have the opportunity to attend the module in school, using the allocated hours to establish and manage their own fictitious company. The concept of a fictitious company is designed to provide the students with the opportunity to actively develop business skills and knowledge. The virtual company includes simulated real processes that need to be taken in the case of establishment of companies and their normal functioning in the real world. The aim of education in a fictitious company is to train initiative, independence and give students knowledge of how to establish and run a company or licensed trade. Students learn to work in a team, accept responsibility, develop initiative and improve their soft skills and expertise. Third-year students undergo the Traineeship module in the form of a continuous five-week traineeship with an allocation of 175 hours per year. During this practice, they continue to expand and deepen their experience and knowledge gained during the second year and learn to use them during actual performance of the chosen profession. The traineeship of the second and third year is designed so that students are familiar with the routine work tasks and work practices and are able to perform routine administrative tasks and organization of work. During the traineeship the students develop logical thinking, acquire a sense of responsibility and strengthen the relationship to work and chosen profession.
