In my "university of applied sciences" in Germany most of the formal classes are in semester 1-3. After that (and in Master) >70% of the classes are actually "projects" which you have to do with a group of your fellow students. E.g. search a real company and code a piece of useful software for them; consulting for a virtual company (try to convince the professor that your "solution" can save the company); doing "Data Science consulting" (bi weekly presentations) for a virtual NYC taxi cab company.
