Internship in industry
To complement theoretical studies and gain practical professional experience, an internship in industry can be completed either during the master’s program or in the transition period between the bachelor’s and master’s programs. The internship must be completed before the start of the master’s thesis.

The minimum duration of an internship in industry is 12 weeks full-time. Vacation taken during the internship does not count toward the minimum duration.
