The Internship emphasizes the practical and prfessinal dimensins f the bachelr f engineering study prgramme and as such cnstitutes a central part f the prgramme. During the semester, fcus will be n the practical use f the cmpetencies acquired in the prgramme s far, an expansin f the students understanding f business and cnnecting thery, practice and experience.
