Timeline of the Transfer Project
We strongly recommend that students begin their Transfer Project immediately upon starting their studies to ensure sufficient time for all required stages and a smooth progression throughout the program
The Transfer Project is structured as a multi‑stage academic process that accompanies students throughout their studies and ensures the continuous application of theoretical knowledge to real-world professional challenges. Each phase—from registration to the preparation of the Thesis—builds on the previous steps and follows defined processing and evaluation periods set by Steinbeis University.
The following table summarizes the recommended timeframe for each study program variant to support effective study planning and timely completion of all Transfer Project components.
