This thesis looks at the individual professionalisation of students from universities and universities of applied sciences in internships. Therefore the author first compares the curriculums at universities and universities of applied sciences in Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse with regard of the fields of study social work and social pedagogy. The underline questions of the empiric part of the thesis are which competences can be developed and if reflections can be initiated due to internships. Furthermore, whether the students are able to connect theory and practice or not. Therefore the author interviewed students at an university at Rhineland-Palatinate and an university of applied sciences in Hesse after they finished their social pedagogic internship. Additionally the author looks at the interview answers to find out if there could be found differences in the process of individual professionalisation between the students of an university and the students of an university of applied sciences especially when regarding the curriculums of the two compared institutions and their potential influences on the experiences of the students in their internships.
