All registered students in the program are required to undertake a three-month internship training in a company or complete a three-month consultancy assignment from an organization (worth 15 ECTS credit points) unless if they have a minimum of two years professional work experience in a related field prior to joining the program. The internship or company consultancy assignment is to be carried out during the 7th semester of the program. In practice, most students elect to start their internship or consultancy assignment during the summer months prior to commencement of the 7th Semester. Following successful completion of the internship (or company consultancy assignment as the case may be) students prepare, submit and orally defend the Bachelor’s thesis in a viva. The thesis accounts for a total of 15 ECTS credit points.
